Monday-Wednesday Schedule

In trying to address concerns you noted on the midterm assessment of the class, I've re-done the schedule for the rest of the semester, tried to "pare down" where I could (no group paper anymore - only your individual papers), and also tried to be as specific as possible. You'll notice some due dates are pushed back a bit, and you'll also know exactly when you are having a quiz, and what that quiz will cover.

I value your feedback, and hope this alleviates many of your concerns!
