|||
|
From time to time I will list reading assignments that were given in class. I may not always do this. Some assignments will be given in class but NOT listed here, so you cannot be sure there was no assignment just because it was not listed here. If you are unsure, call your classmate/partner. This list does not include homework assignments. Assignments are listed in the order given. |
