    Other Important Dates
   9/1	     W    Last Day to Drop Class (with no tuition penalty) 
   10/22     F	  Last Day to Withdraw from class 

   This is an optimistic idea of how we'll progress through the material.  I reserve
   the right to change the schedule at will, in order to take into consideration the
   dynamics of the class.  However,the exam dates are fixed and will not change.
