Your EA1, Who's to Blame essay, is due at the beginning of the next class. We will go to the lab to type your essay; whatever you have finished by the end of class must be turned in. No late work accepted because we spent 5 1/2 class periods on this paper. I need to assess what you accomplished within this time frame.
