are you online? i have a handout due in 1.5 hours and i am desperate.
Sorry I missed you. I was busy with some other matters tonight. Please try to allow at least 24 hours notice for any exercises such as this. Thanks.
Ok I will. my group was desperate. I will look at everything we need in the morning. Can you do a handout?
I'm not sure what a handout is. If it is essay type of questions, no, I don't normally do those type. Please remember to open a new post for any new questions. Thanks.
