The deadline for your first assignment passed at midnight. Most of you have posted a response to the “Je Suis Charlie” graphic that heads our blog, and most of your responses were thorough and thoughtful. Others did not value the assignment very highly, judging from your efforts.

As of 7:21 pm MON JAN 26, there are no posts at all
from the following:

• soccer

May I please hear from these five students by email, text, phone, or by Reply to this post before we meet for class this evening. I’m very concerned that any student who fails to post the first assignment might not have the commitment to complete the course. You won’t be excused from the assignment; you’ll have to submit it immediately and suffer the late penalty. Of course, if misunderstanding, computer failure, or a personal emergency is to blame, I will be gratified to know it. You’ll find me eager to understand and work with you to resolve early shortcomings.

Again, to those of you who put in the work and submitted your responses to a challenging first assignment ahead of the deadline (and particularly to those three who posted early enough for me to respond with feedback before the deadline), I’m very happy to be working with you.
