Click on the units below to find the assignments for that unit. The question marks after a unit indicate that the study guide is from the 2000-2001 academic year. I've left those links up although I don't yet know what the dates will be for those units this year. I also might be making some changes in last year's assignments but I thought you might be interested in a general idea of what is ahead of us this year.
