Weekly Syllabus

Week of Monday, April 27 through Friday, May 1

This week we will learn more about the 1950's and begin studying issues surrounding the 1960's. While I fully expect you to keep up with the reading, I know that you have to work on finishing your first drafts. But remember that ideally you will finish by Wednesday at the latest.  That will give your human proofreader a chance to go over the paper for you, and time for turnitin.com to give you an originality report. You will submit the paper via turnitin.com.  Also, you should feel free to conference this week to talk about the paper or the reading. Good luck!
