Week of January 16th

This week we will be completing our second quarterly exam. The notable difference from past exams is that we will take it in two parts. On Tuesday we will complete the identification component and the essays will be written Thursday. Also for Tuesday, please bring completed outlines of your essays to class. We will have 40 minutes to complete the ids, and the remainder of the class will be set aside for essay preparation and a couple more presenters who weren't able to go last week (you know who you are).

Week of January 9th

The reading for this week is Strayer, 548-555. It was originally scheduled to be completed by Tuesday, but as we've fallen a little behind in our lectures we will push it back to Thursday. Please use the extra time to make some progress on your timeline assignment. Bring the information you have gathered on your topic to class on Tuesday and we will discuss the final preparations for that assignment. I would like us to present our findings to the class on Thursday.
