Changes to the Syllabus and Some Notes

First off, there is a threat of rain this Sunday - be prepared and have a jacket handy.  I'm probably going to make sure we have a warm soup.  Bring your own utensils and a bowl!  

DON'T FORGET TO "FALL BACK!" If you don't set your clock back, your  1:00 PM (class start time) will ACTUALLY be noon!  You'll be plenty on time!

There are changes to the syllabus reflected below:
