Kelly Friel's Class
"I've got a lot to teach but even more to learn."
Hello! If you're reading this the sight is up and running! That's a good thing. Hopefully the information you will find here will you help you in my class and possibly others.
This website will be updated weekly to bi-weekly with assignments, reviews, test dates, and anything else that seems relevant. There may even be warnings about pop quizzes. A weekly affirmation will be added every week. If you have time, think about it over the week and we'll have a brief discussion (almost) every Monday about it. I'm open to suggestions, so feel free to email me if you'd like to contribute. You may also contact me with any questions, concerns, or comments regarding class or anything you feel I may be able to help you with. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be here, so don't be shy.
Throughout the semester we will cover a variety of areas. The first assignment you will be completing will be to discuss the current murder rate in Philadelphia. Don't worry you'll have plenty of time to work.
Weekly Affirmation: I will not be effected by people's doubts.
