- I received some emails today noting that I had yet to post on the blog and even though I am ecstatic that a student is using this wonderful online tool, the blog will be posted at the end of the day. On most days this blog will be posted around 3:30 but it could be as late as 5.
- I am attempting to avoid copyright infringement by trying to find an online copy of our textbook. For the homework there are only 6 questions and we have discussed each topic, I feel confident that everyone can answer them without the pages. Stay tuned to the blog to see if the pages are up by tonight. If you need the information to complete the worksheet I would suggest searching online or in older postings for the notes. I still expect you to have a completed worksheet for tomorrow!
