• in class essay on Adorno, Brecht, and Benjamin ( a bunch of guys who think culture does stuff) Tuesday at 9:30 am
• evil statistics assignment on probability (as in "the likelihood that Sasha won't be able to figure out those formulas increases 10% for every one unit change in x -- hours it is past bedtime) due Wednesday at 9:00am
