Schedule Revision

So I know you guys are going to love this!! I want to spend at least one more day on Aristotle. Due to this and a desire to go ahead and read the Apology, I have made some substantial revision to the agenda. Please be aware of the fact that this will move the deadline of the first short paper to a week later and that we will be screening movies at different days.

Next week I will go over in detail the requirements of the first short paper.

Thanks guys,
Dr. Layne
