HOMEWORK:
-TWIF group presentation on Chapters 7 & 14.

SR419
TODAY:
-Chapters 8.14 & 8.15 discussion questions.

HOMEWORK:
-Read Chapters 8.31 & 8.32. It is pointless to assign discussion questions because no one will do them anyway.

STUDY GUIDE:
-I have made a huge error in judgement in treating this 400 level class differently than lower level classes by assigning homework & instead of collecting it just assuming you would do it. The discussion question homework assignments are just that, homework to be used as a basis of discussion for the next class. Discussion has been terrible as a result of not completing the questions. Today, no one had the homework on their desk & only a handful of you had your book open. So, your study guide for the upcoming exam is to be able to effectively answer the discussion questions for Chapters 7 & 8.
