 This schedule covers only the first of four units of study for the semester, and is subject to minor modifications.  There may be additional assignments or handouts, so regular attendance is very

important.  WRITE ALL ASSIGNED EXERCISES PRIOR TO COMING TO CLASS.   For Kettenreaktion (chain reactions) and Gruppenarbeit (group work), you should list some possible responses so you can participate in these exercises orally.
