I have updated due dates and upcoming test dates to the right. Don't worry, the students will have study guides for all written tests and anything else will be done in class in order to ensure the best performance of each student.
UPDATE: I just realized that next week is ITBS week. The scheduled dates will be pushed back. No worries.
