Crime and Punishment with Instructor Kate Glavin
All assignments titled “Due for Today” should be
completed before coming to class. The
schedule shown below is subject to change, at the discretion of the instructor,
and these changes will be announced in advance.
In the event of an excused absence, it is up to you, the student, to
turn in the assignment before the date of your absence. Peer Reviews cannot be made up, and will

paper—and notes.
