I’m going ahead and cancelling class today (Friday, the 22nd of February) due to weather. I’ve tried to do this through all the proper channels in order to have it posted on http://www.mun.ca/main/cancellations.php with no response, so please pass this info along to anyone you know in the class.
Here are the readings on Jung for Thursday and now also Friday. I will be making a slight alteration to the reading schedule so we can spend more time on Jung for your midterm. This will also affect when the midterm will be assigned, as well as when it is due. See the post here for an updated reading list.
