THANKSGIVING VACATIONS are from Nov. 22nd - Nov. 30th. I will only grade blog responses that were submitted on time by class time on Nov. 21st. Later entries will not be considered! EVEN if you are hospitalized. I am flying to Germany on Dec. 18th, and I am not grading anything except for final exams during FINALS WEEK from Dec. 8th-12th. If you are hospitalized and CAN NOT complete all assignments including the research essay on time, come to my office and sign a contract for an INCOMPLETE no later than Friday, Nov. 21st (the last day before the Thanksgiving vacations). Otherwise, you will fail this course.



THERE ARE NO MAKE-UPS for missed blog summaries!!! If they are not posted at class time, I will post the summary of the other class, so that the peers can do their responses.
