Readings for tomorrow

Is the reading for tomorrow the one listed on the syllabus?:
Lea, Henry Charles; Arthur C. Howland (ed.). "Decadence of Spain." Minor historical writings and other essays. Philadelphia; University of Pennsylvania Press, 1942. 220-233. E-Reserve.

I think I remember Prof. Romero mentioning for us to read 20 pages of something because its a long read so I dont think it was this that you were referring to??

Anthony's Question

Anthony:

The hand-out is listed as a hyperlink to the readings for Wed. I did post it.

You mentioned there was a paper you passed out on Wednesday's class. I was wondering if you put it on-line.

Thanks

Preparing for a take-home Exam

Anthony asked what is the best way to prepare for a take-home exam. I really would not make any distinction between the take-home and the in-class exam. You will have more time to finish it, 2 hours, versus 1:20 in class, so that should help. But I would not make any more distinction that that.

Midterm

Please remember that on Monday we will do a review for the midterm, and at the end of the class, you will get the take-home exam. Please make sure that you have done all the readings before you take the exam, and that you only spend a couple of hours working on it. The exam will be due on Wed. in class.

I apologize for not being able to be in class (LLS 301 A), but I had a meeting at the Graduate School to review graduate student applications.

Please post any comments or concerns you may have.

Accessing E-reserves

I have found there to be problems in accessing PDF files when browsing with Foxfire, because foxfire will attempt to download the files with its proprietary PDF reader, which most campus computers do not have. Try opening Adobe first than downloading the PDF file.
