Schedule
Most readings are hyperlinked directly from this page. Readings are due on the day they show up in the schedule. If there isn’t a link to the reading, it is found in either “They Say, I Say” or “The Tar Heel Writing Guide.”
Lecture slides will appear in Sakai as they become available, but please note that they’re not really an adequate substitute for what we do in class.
