Unit 2 Recap
Rolling Schedule
Most readings are hyperlinked directly from this page. Readings are due on the day they show up in the schedule. If there isn’t a link to the reading, it is found in “The Tar Heel Writing Guide.”
Lecture slides will appear in Sakai as a PDF and on here as a link, but please note that they’re not really an adequate substitute for what we do in class.
Homework is always due by the next class.
