Good evening to each of you.

I hope this finds you well and settling into the first two days of one of the most unusual semesters I, and no doubt you, have ever experienced due to the horrific circumstances of COVID-19 virus.



I wish you, your family and friends to remain safe, strong and healthy.

Please. 




I have received 85% of the class essays at today's DUE date by 6 PM.
Thank you.
>> I still have not received three of them. ?? 

I have begun my reading of them and will get back to you with comments and grades as soon as they are completed. 

Following which time, I will post the best of the group on the class blog without names.  
The sample papers are an excellent resource for everyone to see what the work of your colleagues are doing.  

**Please review them and look at them with a comparative lens to your own submitted paper.  

The sample works that have been published have been done so because of the paper's clarity, the paper's organization, the  depth full research the student presents and concise illustration of critical thinking skills reaching above average standards.

In our second research paper, identify your paper with your name.
I received many this round that identified as simply "Research Paper." 

Again, here's the link to this Comparative Analysis assignment research paper #1/2:

I appreciate your thorough read of all assignments, including this one, and all those going forward. 

PLEASE MAKE NOTE on your calendars
MON MAR 30 by 2:00 PM I am going to pose a question on the blog to the class. 
Your answers should reflect a thorough reading and understanding of our course material from the  last 1/2 of Ancient Egypt (where we left off prior to Test #2/5) to the beginning of Ancient Greece.  Your answers will be due NEXT TUES MAR 31 at 6 PM. 

Going forward, at the end of each of week, on THURSDAYS @ 6 PM, I will pose a question that you will need to answer and submit to me by FRIDAY @ 6 PM the following day, via jpepper@cazenovia.edu. 
This will serve as a good guide of your comprehension of the course material, that you are keeping up with all of your readings and review of any links I launch on the blog.

For what ever reason, if this poses a difficulty for you because of work or other 'home' commitments, you need to contact me immediately.

Many thanks in advance.
