The readings for these dates are to be completed by the date shown. We will go over problems in class, but otherwise you should be ready to cut and paste any part of the assigned passages.
Because of the unusual configuration of this year’s class, assignments are broken out as separate, though they fall due on the same day. Remember to prepare everything required for both sessions.
There are also regular quizzes on the vocabulary: do not ignore them. Not only will they enhance your reading, the scores will count toward your grade.
