Also!
Please note there is a quiz on the syllabus this Wednesday. Obviously, you will want to be sure you have the syllabus with you. :)

And...
for students in my section 17 class at 12 noon: 
a student in this section needs someone to volunteer to take notes for him.
You would be provided with carbon paper so the notes would be instantly duplicated for him. Please see me if you are interested in helping out. Thanks so much.
