Weekly+Homework

 * This page lists the weekly homework assignments for my classes. I try my hardest to have the next week's homework posted on Fridays. Please note that assignments are due on different days for different groups due to block scheduling. Please make sure you check your group color before you look for the assignments and due dates. It is also important to remember that Content Reading only meets twice a week, so it gets less homework than other classes.**
