T/Th Sections: Paper Deadline Extended

March 31, 2009 Mrs. Olson Leave a comment

Two announcements:

  • I’ve extended the paper #3 deadline to April 1 at midnight to turnitin.com.
  • When we meet for class on Thursday, we’ll talk about the example essays, so make sure that you have read and printed them before you come to class.

Hope you are enjoying the late start.
