ASSIGNMENT CALENDAR

Important Dates for Class Assignments, Spring 2008
(important dates for you to remember but not the full assignments for the semester)

---

For every discussion section meeting with your TA, you are asked to write up a short comment about the assigned readings for the week (5 or 6 sentences) and pose several questions (which might be used for class discussion). This must be turned into your TA each week. Attendance at the sections is required.

The Monday before sections, we will be emailing you the reading assignments for that Friday’s discussion. I have set up the readings until the first mid-term.
