Ready for a test?
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Good news for you. I realized today after taking my test that I want to give you a break. So, I will be making the test slightly shorter (though some questions will have to be worth more points) and I think I am going to put a bonus question on the test. I also am thinking of more multiple choice questions.
Anyway, I would study the Compromise of 1850 if I were you... and perhaps the battles of the Civil War. Good luck.

As it stands...
As it stands right now, many of you are not doing well in this class. I hope this next week many of you will realize how precarious this position is for you. The good news is that there is still time to make up for past mistakes.
On another note, remember that Tuesday, Sept. 2nd, is the day that we will be going to the library to work on our papers. I have decided that you should write them double-spaced, and I will announce that in class. Other than that, I look forward to a week of improvement (the fact that it is only four days long should help!).

First Assignment
Your first assignment is to read Chapter 11, Sections 1-4. Keep in mind that I will want you to be able to discuss this in class. If you come to class and it is apparent that the assigned reading has not been done, there will be extra homework.
