Discussion Intro. Schedule
Note: remember to review closely the syllabus and schedule (pages).
By Friday 16-Jan, please post (in comment below) top 4 selections of two days responsible for starting class discussion of readings — beginning W 21-Jan. (Note: I suggest “skimming” Norton and/or checking info about the texts online in order to select — hence Friday deadline.)
I will confirm (and negotiate conflicts/preferences) selections/dates via email — so remember to use @ufl account when posting. As I suggested in class, try to request two preferred dates per half (or at least separated by a few weeks) — see example, exclusions, and notes below.
