Weekly Syllabus

Week of Monday, May 7 through Friday, May 11

This week you will get your first drafts back. When you receive them, read the comments carefully, and conference with me if you have any questions. Then begin writing (and researching, as necessary) your revisions. Don't save it for the last minute!

Also, remember that you can prepare a poster discussing your paper project.  The poster session will be a week from this Thursday.  Get started now--it is a nice extra credit opportunity.

Keep up with the reading. We're almost there...
