this site, and using it regularly will be crucial for your success this year. Major components of this site include:
an updated "Upcoming Major Assignment" calendar; syllabi for each course; great links for research assignments, primary
sources, and key documents; links to required outside the textbook readings, WHICH YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR READING, TAKING
NOTES ON, AND PRINTING OUT WHEN REQUIRED. Put this website in your "Favorites"/"Bookmarks" so it is just 1 click away.
This website is a work-in-progress, therefore, I am eager to receive your feedback,
