Week 5: October 13 - 15

 Due to the large size of several of the classes, I have made a few changes to the course outline. I have cancelled the midterm, and now the debate, video, and final will be worth 33% each. I have also changed the debate to be done individually [and not in pairs].

All the materials can be found here:
