Seminar Update

For Friday, December 16, students should read the C.S. Lewis essay that was handed out in class - "Man or Rabbit?"  They are required to highlight important ideas in the text and come to class prepared to discuss the reading.  Due to Santa Shop we may not have seminar on Friday.  In that case, we will discuss the essay on January 6.
