ASSIGNMENT CALENDAR
Important Dates for Class Assignments,
Spring 2009
(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.
