2. Complete your www.quizlet.com vocabulary cards for Chapters 1-6 by tomorrow.

3. This Friday, September 25, marks two important deadlines for this class:

• Final drafts of the summary-response are due in Turnitin.com (we will set up your accounts tomorrow) by 3:00 pm. Remember that final drafts are, in fact, final and cannot be revised.
