Thurs Apr 14 we will begin working on the take home exercise. It is due after Spring Break on Tuesday, April 26 (you will receive completion points for doing it and having it with you in class). We will review it that day, and answer questions. Thursday, April 28 you will take a quiz that will be based on the take home exercise sentences, except that the "persons" will change. You will be given reference material for doing the exercise at home and for the quiz. If you have successfully taken all quizzes for the quarter, you will not need to take a final exam. If you are taking the Final Exam, it is scheduled for May 3, and I will give it from 5-7 PM.
Note that there will be NO CLASS APRIL 19, since it is a Biblically commanded Holy Day (first day of Passover).
Please remember to go to Mama Vaughn's office to take quizzes you have missed. If you need help remembering which quizzes they are, or have questions about the material, please contact Rabbi Jana.
