Organic II
Tutoring Information/Hours
Syllabus
Note: Fall scheduling is notoriously difficult and, despite my best efforts, it's become a tradition for me to accidentally assign a quiz or exam on days of observance. As a result, key dates in the current syllabus are subject to change. I will have to rely upon the class to make me aware if you notice any issues, and we will try to 'nail down' key dates by mid-September
