Tomorrow, brute that I am, I will give you a quiz on the biography, chapters 1-9. I don’t do this out of sheer cruelty, though typically that’s the only pedagogical principle for my assignments. Mainly, I want to continue to value the biographical reading, since it will make our discussions more informed and give us a shared base of knowledge. So, be ready to write about chapters 1-9 tomorrow. I’m not interested in minutiae, fascinating though it may be; I’m more interested in the major things.
Note: I’ll send this out to you via email, too, but I don’t want to contribute to inbox bloat, so in the future I’m going to rely on the website to post late-breaking news like this.
Carry on…
