Again, I apologize for not being being more clear about yesterday's assignment, and confusion in the syllabus. I realize now I had not really assigned anything on Google Books to read - so kudos to the class for knowing enough about it to have an engaging discussion anyway! I truly am sorry for the confusion.
So in the spirit of much more clarity, here is the gameplan, and associated assignments, for the rest of the quarter, including the readings for yesterday that you can review if you have an interest in knowing more....
