Week of March 15

Week of March 1

Hey, gang, I'm BACK! We'll actually be having class meetings twice this week, on Tuesday and Thursday. Since we haven't had class for weeks, I don't feel too bad about asking you to come early during your lunch hour; how about if we say class will start at around 12:20, so that people have time to grab some food in the cafeteria and bring it with them to class?

The main focus of the week will be discussions of your projects, but this will take place in private meetings -- please make sure to sign up for a block of time with me! (Those of you in a group project should work together and sign up for a time you can all make it.) The signup sheet is outside of Mr. Flynt's office in Science Hall, but will move to my office (Steiner 100, basement) when I arrive on Sunday. The meetings will also take place in my Steiner office.
