Weekly Syllabus

Week of Monday, May 2 through Friday, May 6

This week we will study the Cold War and the 1950's, and hopefully begin to talk about some issues of the 1960's as well. Also, don't forget that your first draft is due at the start of class on Wednesday. It should be as perfect as you can make it. There will be no tolerance for spelling, grammar, usage, citation or punctuation errors. You can check the rubric to see how the paper will be graded. Remember that there is NO valid excuse for late submission of the paper.
