Class Procedures and Reminders
My schedule today. I'll be out of the office for part of the day today (wish me luck: I'm going to find out if my weird eye problem is officially fixed!), but I should be back in the office sometime in the afternoon, so I'll be sure to reply to any email questions then.
Project Stack. If you turned in a project before Sunday, you should have comments back from me, and today I'll start working on the assignments that were turned in on Saturday. As always you can check the stack to make sure I received your email.
The following items are for fun and exploration:

You can read more about Jami in this Wikipedia article; this image shows Yusuf fleeing from Zulaikha:
