Special on the calendar:  We have the good fortune to have two separate sections of Senior Seminar, so we can truly have a seminar style discussion.  In order to be more efficient, both sections will meet together periodically on either the Tuesday or Thursday (see green cells, below; everyone's schedule should allow for that).  Particularly when we do team presentations, both sections will meet together.  Note also that we will have a few special evening classes to make up for my absences.  Please log these dates into your schedules now to prevent confusion later.  If you have conflicts, I need to know about them by Wednesday, January 25.
Mon/Wed Tue/Thu  Books should be completed by the presentation day
