補講日： TED Talks!

Here are three possible TED talks you can watch and respond to for our makeup day! Click here for a reaction paper you can download... On Jan. 26, we will have class, BUT you only have to come if you are worried about having too many absences to pass. If you come, you can erase one absence from your record. On Jan 26 we will watch the three TED talks and write reaction papers, so if you did the homework and aren't worried about absences, you don't have to come!
