Blogging Amnesty: Because there has been confusion about the due dates of reading and blogging assignments, you have until Friday, November 16 to complete the blogging assignment originally due today (November 12). This blogging assignment is to comment on a classmate’s blog post — either one 100 word comment or 2 comments totaling 100 words.
The annotated bibliography is due on Wednesday, November 14. Please get in touch if you have questions about the assignment.
Slides from today are available here.
