Important Note to Students

The HAMLIT assignment page is a convenience but not something to be dependent on. When possible, homework and reading assignments will be posted here, but you are expected to complete all assignments that are announced in class on time, regardless of whether they are posted online. If you are absent, or do not remember if there is an assignment, you will need to contact another member of class to verify what the assignment is. Neither I nor the site are responsible for your failure to complete this responsibility.

Due: Discuss Gatsby 5-6

Due: Importance thinking activity. (See research paper site for explanation.)

NOTE: The "Thinking Activity" will only be complete for 2 or your importance quotations. Use this time to research additional importance quotations if necessary.

You may certainly complete the activity for all 4 of your quotations if you choose, but only 2 will be required to earn full points on the activity.
