Fourth Year - First Assignment

Dear Fourth Year,

Tomorrow's classes will be of an introductory nature; they will be relatively brief. Please try to divide yourselves equally into two groups. If you are unable to, I will.

I will be handing out vital information for the course, plus your first homework assignment. We will start translating this in class on Friday, October 17. In case you are not able to come this week, that assignment can be downloaded here:

Homework 1 - Milorad Pavić

Looking forward to seeing all of you!

Best,
Randall

Thursday, October 9, 2014 - Third Year

Dear Third Year Students,

Since I didn't get to see most of you this week (I was at a funeral), if you did manage to get the handouts and are now reading this blog, please send an e-mail to me. Just say "got it!" in the subject line and "hello, see you next Thursday" or something in the body. Use this address:

stjeromens@gmail.com

On Thursday, Oct 16, we will have proper introductions, talk about the article I posted and get started with our work. Please bring the questionnaires with you if you managed to get them.

Thank you!


Peace! Randall

Welcome to the blog for your courses. Here you will be able to find links to the out-of-class readings, occasional assignments, and ultimately your grades on the tests and final exam. Also, check here weekly before class for relevant announcements, cancellations and other information.

Here is the short reading you need to do for October 16, 2014:

Note that there is a dedicated e-mail address for you to use in case you have questions and/or problems. It is in the lower right-hand side of the page, or here:

Looking forward to seeing you in class.
