Schedule of reading and discussion assignments

The dating on the lines below is not in error: because of the distribution of the classes, it’s necessary to mark them this way. The first item in the "Week of...<date>" is the Monday or Tuesday, and the second is the Wednesday or Thursday, depending on which section you are in. Those few weeks that have only one entry are intended to work around holidays — hence the one in the Labor Day week has only the Wednesday-Thursday assignment; the one in the week of Thanksgiving has only the Monday-Tuesday assignment. It may be puzzling at first, but you’ll figure it out soon enough.
