WEEK ONE

Howdy, class (and all other viewers!)

On this site you will always be able to see what the current assignments are. You'll know what expectations the students will have and exactly when we'll be doing them. I won't be able to update this every single day, but most days I will. I try to do my plans a week ahead of time, so if you are going to be absent, this is the place to check. And if you have questions about an assignment from home, leave a comment on the page. I check this at least once a day, so I should be able to leave immediate feedback.

For example, here is what is going to be happening on Days 1,2, and 3
