Class Agenda 5.14

1. Quiz

2. Announcements

No Break Today: Class ends early after Archive visit.

Extra credit event Thursday.

The Museum Visit: The New York Historical Society: assignment same as Met.

Changes to syllabus will be made to accomodate the completion of the novel.

Grades: Blogs are 30% of the grade in this course. Missing more than one blog means a loss of 6 points (that's 100 to 94). Two blogs means 12 points (that's 94-88). Three blogs is 18 points. That's 88 - 82. So students who are missing three blogs - even if they have an "A" on everything else - currently have a B-. Wake up!

You may make up blogs for extra credit.

The deadline for essay 1 revisions is June 1 - two weeks.

Assignment Three posted.
