| Just wondering, could the essays really be due on December 4th!! That really would give me a lot of time to whip up an awesome essay!! Just kidding. The Blackboard site does say the 4th of December, though. Just thought I'd let you know. |

| Hmm. December 4th is late. I must have been thinking it's already fall. Where on the Blackboard site did you find this howler? Tell me and I'll go fix it. |

| Never mind. I think I found it—right there on the "Announcements" page. Repair made. Now, unfortunately, you've got only almost six days instead of almost six months to finish that final draft! |

| I just had a question about the content of the final. Is it cumulative or is it on the content covered from the midterm until now? I also wanted to clarify that I can have all my work finished by Wednesday night for the course, correct? I have knee surgery Thursday morning and think it would be best to finish my work before otherwise there may be some strange posts because of the pain medication. :) |

The final will cover just the second half of the course. And yes, it'll be fine if you were all done with everything by Wednesday. I can't think of a reason to make you keep doing things till the last possible moment.
Incidentally, you've got my sympathies about the effects of pain medication. I've been posting for the last ten days or so myself under fairly heavy pain medication in the wake of extensive oral surgery. Good luck with your knee! |

| Is there a quiz this week or only the test? Are we responsible for our ten postings? If yes, the does it matter what we post on in the Reading Room? |

There's no quiz this week. Taking the final and finishing up the final draft of your essay is going to be more than enough to do. There's also no new lecture to read, and there's no new assignment in Plato.
You are responsible for your usual twelve postings, and it is twelve now, not ten. I want you to read and comment on each other's final drafts! In the Reading Room, feel free to comment on any of the readings. You can't post on just anything, but you can certainly comment on any of the readings.
You'll find a few more details on the Assignments page in Blackboard, which you should consult. |

| Tom, I have been informed that you will not be teaching Ancient in the fall--what's the deal with that! |

| Jack Temkin's going to be doing it. I'm taking over the duties of the chair, and to compensate, he's taking over PHIL 260. He's really good on ancient philosophy, and this way, between the course you're taking from me right now and PHIL 260, you'll get two local perspectives on ancient philosophy -- or at least an important chunk of it -- for just twice the price of one! |

| It looks like I will be getting to know Jack really well; I will be taking two of his courses in the fall and one in the spring. |
