Stewart Brand: Four Environmental Heresies

DUE DATE EXTENSION

Dear Class,

I have had to travel on short notice this week because of a family emergency, and was thus unable to field student questions yesterday RE: the Primary Source Paper.

In light of this unanticipated schedule change, I have decided to give the class more time to complete the Primary Source Paper; I will now collect the papers on Thursday, June 17th.

Also, to advise students on their papers in progress, I will be available for extended office hours in the "Cyber Cafe" on the 1st Floor of Snell library on Monday June 14th and Tuesday June 15th from 8-9:30am.

all best,

RSD
