Class Procedures and Reminders
This week's schedule. Week 15 is a review week, with no new reading; instead, I'm asking you for your feedback about the class, along with other end-of-class activities. Note that the week is shortened because of finals: this class is over ON FRIDAY at noon. Please don't put your work off until the last minute! All the assignments are available now, and as soon as you get the points you need (410/A, 360/B, 320/C), you are all done with the class.
Project Stack. You can check the stack to make sure I received your assignment. I'll start with the assignments from people who are not done with the class yet (and who might need to also turn in a Week 15 assignment), and then I'll move on to reading assignments from people who are done with the class.
The following items are for fun and exploration:
Reading. You have no new reading in this class, but if you are doing reading to prepare for finals in your other classes, you might enjoy Lena Pavlova's cats in a Kama Sutra for Readers.
Mythology. Here's something fun: a map of Monsters in America.
Words from India. Long before there were "pundits" on American news shows, there were PANDITS in India.
Featured Storybook. This project is from the Indian Epics class: Journey of Festivals. Travel and learn! This Storybook will tell you all about Rama Navami, which is the festival of Rama's birthday, along with the holiday of "Onam" in which King Mahabali returns to Kerala at every new year, and "Gudi Padwa," a celebration of Brahma's creation of the world.
