<br />
It's always important to stay up on today's news, but I hope you find these stories particularly useful during discussions in class about debates.<br />
<br />
All stories will be posted by 5 p.m. the day before the current events quiz is scheduled (marked as "CE" on your syllabus). They will be administered during the first 5 minutes of class. These quizzes cannot be made up because of tardiness or absences, nor can they be taken in advance. Be sure to read the complete story. For obvious reasons, laptops and cell phones are prohibited to be on your desk during quizzes. Please "bookmark" this page for easier access in the future. <br />
<br />
Here's hoping for a great class together!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07858681053517919110noreply@blogger.com0
