The classes are in the morning, 8:30-12, or in the afternoon 12:15-3:45.

You can take one (1) course in the summer.

 

I will give a midterm recommendation a few days before registration begins, Thursday, June 6 and Friday, June 7. I will meet with each person for a few miniutes to discuss how you are doing in the course and what you can do next term.

We want the strongest speakers and writers to register first.

If your average is below 65%, you will have to wait a week or so to register for summer.
