Post Thanksgiving Schedule

Remember that you are responsible for being familiar with the material presented each day.  As long as class discussions go smoothly, there will be no additional paper work necessary.  If I feel that people are not reading the research papers being presented, I may institute a written daily summary due at the beginning of each class period.
