I have also made chore charts for my household because I have a couple of friends staying with me until they get on their feet. We rotate the chores every week. Finally, the features of my current course website, E-College, that will help me to achieve success in my academic pursuits are the main Course Home page where I can keep track of new announcements that my professor has posted he Grade Book tab where I can check to see what my current grade is and the grades I have made on different assignments and the email tab that lets me keep in touch with my instructor of any personal matters or any questions I may have that I do not want to be shared publicly.
