Although I have been in a quandry all weekend about whether or not to post more lecture notes, I have decided not to do so. We left off last Thursday (3/4) at the beginning of Chapter 8: Community chills, which is well behind where I'd like to be and I am sure well behind where all of you should be in terms of reading. Nonetheless, Chapters 8 & 9 have some important points which I'd like to bring out in class, and I will try again to pick up the pace. Remember, that the reading assignment for this week is Chapters 15-20 or Part Two: Causes, which I am sure we will get into by Thursday.
TOMORROW IS ALSO THE DUE DATE FOR YOUR FIRST ESSAY, SO PLEASE TRY TO HAVE THOSE READY TO TURN IN BY CLASS TIME. BUT IF YOU MIGHT NEED A BIT MORE TIME, YOU CAN TURN IT IN LATER IN THE DAY.
I did put together a description of our paper assignment (which will be due toward the end of the semester). I will hand out a hard copy of this tomorrow. It will not require any real work at this point, just some thought as to what topic you might want to write on.
Finally, probably by the end of this week, I will announce a date for our midterm exam, which will fall sometime during the week before Spring break. This means that I will be calling on the families to start making up midterm exam questions as early as next week.
See you tomorrow.
