Final Presentation Schedule: Please refer to the schedule attached here. You are scheduled to present on either December 7 or December 14. Please note: December 14 – not December 21 – is the last day of classes for Wednesday classes. If it is absolutely not possible for you to present on the day you have been assigned, please notify me immediately so that a switch can be made.

Because the last day of classes is Dec. 14 (a week earlier than is indicated on the course syllabus), you will be given until December 14 to submit your final annotated bibliography and final summary if you need this extra time, regardless of the day you will present. A post with this same information is forthcoming today. PLEASE be sure to read this and make note of the change in schedule.
