SCHEDULE
Timesheet
In the notes section, indicate what you worked on during that time.
In the notes page, you have 100 characters to briefly describe what you did during that time. For example, as the image below shows, you might say something like "Meeting w/Jess; KINE 4357 fixed issue w/ virtual session pages; SCIE 3302 modules 1-3." These notes are only seen by Sarah. Your ID won't have access to your timesheet, so be sure to also keep track of where you're at with them too.
You will use Time Clock Plus (TCP) to clock in and out.
