Here is a practice sentence from Martha Kolln's *Rhetorical Grammar*:

"The lectures in our astronomy class as well as the assigned reading and
the lab work make it clear that I am in the wrong class I have decided to
drop the course."

I believe that only a colon or semicolon is needed between class and I. My
colleagues in the English department, however, have all punctuated the
sentence this way:

"The lectures in our astronomy class, as well as the assigned reading and
the lab work, make it clear that I am in the wrong class; I have decided to
drop the course."

Any help would be appreciated!
