SATURDAY POSTING

Friday's class was devoted to working on note cards. Some of you were seriously devoted to said task, are well on your way to 70 cards by Thursday, and may consider yourselves free of homework. However, quite a few of you chatted, sat quietly but with a pristine desk in front of you, wandered away from intended computer uses, or formed the audience for D's amazing demonstration of keyboard virtuosity. . . you must do outside of class what you've been neglecting during your allotted time.

Remember that we are NOT doing vocabulary this coming week. It's certainly OK if you work ahead, but it's not homework this week-end. Focus on debate notecards. Use your brain to see what kind of coverage you're getting for the topic--success doesn't lie in merely having the required number of cards.
