Thank you for a robust and super-charged semester.

Class on Friday, 11.15.19
Dear Mythologists,
On Friday you'll gather to discuss academic integrity with your Peer Mentor. As before, attendance is mandatory, and the lack of a formal assignment ought to give you time to perfect Annotated Bibliography 2, which is due on Saturday.
See you next Wednesday,

Class on Wednesday, 11.13.19
Dear Mythologists,
On Wednesday, November 13, you'll be in the capable hands of our Peer Mentor, and you'll have a presentation from Skidmore's Career Development Center, or CDC for short, that will introduce you to the services that office provides. Unfortunately, students access these services far too late in their Skidmore careers. I want you to be ahead of the curve.
While there's no formal assignment, you should be well on your way to completing Annotated Bibliography 2, whether by making edits to the first biblio, adding new sources, or both.
I know you know this, but attendance at tomorrow's class is mandatory. Further instructions from our Peer Mentor have been sent to you, so please follow them to the letter.

Class on Wednesday, 10.30.19
Dear Mythologists,
On Wednesday, October 30, we'll embark upon the second unit of our seminar, namely: viewing the Marvel Cinematic Universe from the perspective of Greco-Roman myth. We'll discuss the specific goals of upcoming courses, as well as some new formats necessary to see them through.
As such, there's no assignment for this class, but you should devote the time to continuing to work on the next milestone of our project, Annotated Bibliography I.

(No) Class on Friday, 10.25.19
Dear Mythologists,
A friendly reminder that no classes are held on Friday, September 25, which is set aside as an all-College study day. We will already have had our midterm, but you should use the time to study for other upcoming exams — or to get a jump on the second milestone of our semester project, annotated bibliography 1.

(1) Preparing for the semester project; and
(2) Planning your classes in the spring.The first hour of class will be spent on these and other issues. The second hour will be occupied with a learning game devised by the staff of Scribner Library, designed to get you used to the library's resources. (More information on this the day of.)

(No) Class on Wednesday, 10.09.19
Dear Mythologists,
A friendly reminder that the College will not hold classes on Wednesday, October 9, in observance of Yom Kippur. Have an easy fast and Yom Tov, if you are observing the holiday. If you are interested in services at Skidmore, please contact our Peer Mentor.
Given that there're no outside assignments this week, I suggest you use the time you might otherwise spend preparing for class in preparing the first milestone of our semester project, due October 19.
