August 22, 2005Burt Likko

Weekend Summary

August 15, 2005Burt Likko 1 Comment

Interesting events this weekend included: Finishing grading and revising my online students’ papers. Always a big chore, I made it through three less-than-well-written papers with revisions to point out where they failed to cite to authorities, made grammar mistakes, and… Continue Reading →

Slack-Jawed Astonishment

August 14, 2005Burt Likko 1 Comment
