TOMORROW AT 3:30 is the last time to turn in any redone or late assignment. I will accept no late or redone work after this time.

Do note that I am waiving the requirement to finish the 405 essay. If you do complete it AFTER you finish your 403 essay, it will only match or help your writing unit grade. It can't make it worse.
