Wednesday, January 21st --  Introductions and an in-class reading/discussion.  Provide Syllabus. 

Monday, January 26th -- Class cancelled
 ================================================
CLASS ON MONDAY JANUARY 26th CANCELLED.  You may have received the notice from WSU that the university is resuming normal operations on Monday.  However, Professor Sterrett's return travel to Wichita has been interrupted by the weather and she will not be in Wichita on Monday.  So we cannot have an in person class.  Not everyone said they were able to attend by Zoom, so we will not have a Zoom class, either, since in a small discussion-type class such as this one, it is not easy for someone who misses a class to make up the missed class.  
    We look forward to seeing you at our next class meeting, on Wednesday, January 28th, 2026.   
--- SGS on behalf of Prof Sterrett and Prof Berry
