About the class reading for Monday, November 14th!:

"Romy's Knee" is too long for me to put on e-reserve. You will need to get your copy of Romy's knee by picking it up in my mailbox in the English, photocopying it, and returning it to my mailbox for others to copy.

Discussion question: What are the advantages and disadvantages for Romy of participating in the clinical trial for her osteosarcoma (bone cancer in her knee)?

Please hold on to all written work produced for this class!

Please remember the policy on late assignments: check your syllabus if you've forgotten the policy.
