For Tuesday,  January 27

Guess what?  Tuesday didn't happen.  We had a blizzard instead.  I think it wasn't as big as it was supposed to be, at least in Bristol.  Did anyone make a snowman on Campus?  It has been a custom to make a Snowman out of Roger, in front of the Administration Building.  Anyhow, the nice thing about creating the internet syllabus is that I can update it in situations like this.  You probably will notice a certainly familiarity about Thursday's assignment below.  I'm looking forward to opening your dropbox contributions.
