NOTES: Posted April 24 (Extra Credit and New Homework Due Date)
HOMEWORK 10 is now Due Thursday April 26 in class (see schedule page).
EXTRA CREDIT! Due Tuesday May 1! This Thursday and Friday ONLY the Graduate Research and Arts Symposium will be held at Corbett Center from 9am-4pm. When you have a chance, please go to the middle of the third floor where people will tell you which talks are being held in which rooms. Choose 3. Listening to the talks should only take about an hour. You may listen to as many talks as you would like, but for this EC only three will count. Write up a _one_ page summary for _each_ of the three talks. Each summary will give you 10 homework points up to 30 points total. Summaries are due on Tuesday (May 1) [The Day the New RUSH album comes out! Yahooo!]

NOTE: Posted March 15 (Ides of March)
Due to slippage of the schedule, I am posting the schedule through Exam II. IMPORTANT: We will take a week off from Homework assignments. The next assignment will not be due as scheduled. I will have the schedule and the chapter numbers fixed over Spring Break.
