Step 1) Empty the beer cans (repeat as necessary) :-)

Oh... I see you have taken this class previously.
Apparently, you only took the first part of the class before dropping

Remember, to complete the class and receive full course credit, you must
complete ALL assignments.
Your final grade depends on it.
