Just as a reminder:
The Annotated Bibliography is due on Monday, 5/10.
Revision #3 is due 5/17, but I will accept these anytime before.
The Final Paper is due on Wednesday, 5/26, at the latest. As with the RV#3, I will accept Final Papers before their terminal due date.
On the 26th of this month, please meet in our regular room at the regular time. We will be having a social of sorts, so feel free to bring food and drink as we say goodbye to this semester and the class!
