American Literature, 1800-1915 (EL 266)

Consultations (no class)

While attendance today is not required, I will be available to consult with you regarding Paper 3.

I am not requiring that you come for a consultation this week, but I strongly recommend it.

On Tuesday, I will be available during the 9:30-10:45 time slot, during which time I'll be happy to run a workshop for anyone who wants it. I'll also be available for individual appointments from 9-9:30, and 1-3.

The Wednesday class is cancelled due to Thanksgiving Break -- I will not be holding consultations during that time slot. Students from the Wednesday section are invited to sign up for a consultation on Tuesday.

I might be able to see you briefly on Monday, but that day is already heavily scheduled.
