·        New deadline for First Draft: Friday 04/04/2008

·         In my feedback to some of your topics, I mention stuff “to do”. I meant this to be part of your semester-long work, not necessarily to be included in your assignment 2.

·         Check new office hours.

·         Just to confirm: New Due date for Assignment 2, Friday February 29

·         There was a typo in the syllabus, the correct due date for the next assignment is 02/26/2008. I will have your first assignment graded today 02/19.

·         If you submitted a paper to be reviewed please check if your paper appears here

·         If your paper does not appear there OR if you are interested in submitting a paper, submit the hardcopy of the paper you got back from your previous instructor at Economics’ front desk (1035 Heller Hall) AND send me an electronic copy please.
