General Orders No. 1: Our Plan for Thursday

Due to the difficulty of having a class that meets late on Thursday afternoon, less than an hour before the beginning of Mardi Gras parades, we will not be meeting on Thursday, March 3. This affects the following matters:

1.) This is the due date for your film essay. In order to satisfy the due date for your essay, I will need to see a printed copy placed in my mailbox or under my office door when I check both locations on Thursday afternoon, around 4:00 PM. I will not accept emailed documents as on time. I want a printed essay to grade.

NOTE: I want your essays to be double-spaced. I cannot write comments on single-spaced papers. Your essay should be worth the death of a tree or two.

2.) We normally have our weekly test on Thursday. In its stead, I will place a take-home quiz on the blog that you will complete, print out, and turn in with your essay. I will post this take-home quiz to the blog sometime on Wednesday.

3.) I cannot give my lecture on Thursday. Instead I will make a video podcast of the lecture material that I had hoped to cover in class. Do not expect this on the blog until Thursday or perhaps even Friday. This material will not be part of the take-home quiz, but will be fair game for the next quiz that we take after Mardi Gras.

Have an enjoyable and safe Mardi Gras!
