The Schedule of the morning class of Foundations of Algebra:
{Days 1-8, 9-12 may be revised}
Crossed out days have already occured - however, absent students should be able to read the crossed out text. If you are unable to, contact one of the managers on the list, in person, via E-mail/IM, or by posting in the forum, and the crossed out text will be replaced with Italics.
Due to the new teacher and the new schedule, non-occuring schedule days are in spoilers.
