Class Schedule


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 receive a grade of zero.  Always bring texts to class, as well as all of the necessary writing supplies—pen or pencil, paper—and notes.
