Update on Post-Snowzilla Plans

Here's what you can expect when we return to school (whenever that may be):

ECON: The first macroeconomics exam will be held during our first class back from the break.  The review posters were posted online last week.  Be prepared!

HOA: We'll continue with more Reconstruction presentations.  At this point, all groups should be prepared to present if called upon.  I'm awaiting further instructions from W-L administration in regards to the quarter exam.  I'll update this post Wednesday night with more information.

TOPICS:  We'll continue with presentations on Mao's domestic policies.  There will be an in-class essay in the period immediately after the presentations have concluded.

The end of the quarter is still January 29th.  Some assignments may need to be pushed into the 3rd quarter gradebook if all students have not had a chance to complete their presentations/assignments before January 29th.  More information to come tomorrow evening...
