an early Christmas gift

As I announced in class, you will be allowed to use an index card during your essay exam on Friday.

This generous offer comes with the following guidelines:

• the index card may be no larger than 4" X 6"
• you may only put bullet points or other short notes on the card
• you are NOT allowed to have full sentences or paragraphs on your card
• you may write on both sides of the card
• you need to show me your card at the start of Friday's class to be sure you are in compliance

Violations of these guidelines will result in academic penalties and disciplinary action. But I have faith that you will use your index card wisely, as a tool to help you write a better essay.
