Electronic files will be posted for you on Google Classroom or on my website: mrstaylorths.weebly.com ; it is a great place to go for projects, and test reviews.
I can always be reached by email: [email protected] and my plan hour is 8th hour (which is a great time for any one on one help).
Don’t forget – I am here to help you learn! (It’s what I’m paid for J). Let me know if you need extra guidance on a project or on a topic. Business topics can be new ground for students, but as you will see, they can be avenues to great potential and rewarding ventures. And remember, everyone who’s great in business now had to start at the beginning.
