Root of the Week: -log (word) -logy (Study)

Congrats. on your excellent pieces of 'abstract writing.' Enjoy these excellent pieces from Emily and Sanjo.  Also look at the amount of effort Carolina put into her work. When people receive 'F' for not doing their work, this is why. This is what your class mates are doing, so don't you think it is only fair that the difference in effort be reflected in the grades???
