I have activated the assignment link for week four.

I have activated the assignment link for week four.  Within the assignment, I also wrote a short essay on taking research notes which contains most of the material I planned to cover in yesterday's class.  Reading this essay is your first exercise for the week.

As always, write with questions.

PS For those who have asked or sent get well messages, my thanks.  I wish I could say I am feeling better, but I've still a hacking cough and a sinus infection.  Since I was already on a course of antibiotics and nasal steroid spray, the doctor, who I visited this morning, has me finishing these up and checking on the progress of what he thinks is a secondary sinus/chest infection.  How unlucky is it to go into the doctors one week, and then catch something on top?  In any event, I am resting, and I hope to conduct a full week of classes and office hours next week. If there are any changes to these plans, I will post them here.
