• We'll still have daily comments and daily quiz questions.
• We'll keep reading chapters from Fortson
• We'll do a lot of exercises from Fortson
• These exercises will form the bulk of the final exam, so you need to do them and understand them.
• One of your assignments will still be a project to share with the rest of us.
  

What will change?
Basically, not much in terms of what we learn and how: what we have been doing will be what we keep doing. But some changes obviously have to occur.

• You do not have to be available during a specific class time: you will, however, still have to hand in comments and quiz questions and other things on Tuesdays and Thursdays: if it's due, it will be due on a Tues. or Thurs. by midnight.
• It will be even harder than ever for me to tell if you are keeping up: if you don't, you will have a hard time catching up and your grade will surely suffer. That's a big unknown I worry about for us.
  
• The schedule has changed/been filled out more. Please consult the link to it below.
  
• Daily comments and quiz questions will be entered onto Google documents which you will be invited to contribute to.
• Daily comments will become perhaps more important: they will be on a shared Google document. I will respond to some, and you are encouraged to respond too. This may evolve/change as time goes on. For now, I think of it as playing the function of in-class questions.
• Quizzes will be online and open book, to be announced and handed out by email and to be handed in as emails. They will not be confined to the quiz questions you hand in, but they will certainly include some of those.
  
• Exercises will be handed in as emails if I ask you to hand them in.
• Instead of in-class sessions, we'll have short powerpoints with embedded audio on specific exercises in Fortson and other topics. They will be posted below, just as my class notes were posted there before Spring break.
  
• Instead of in-class presentations and then papers, you will create a document to share that is about an IE language we are not covering in class or illustrates an aspect of Indo-European across several languages (more on this later). Format: Powerpoint slide shows with audio inserted should work, or a more traditional paper format: other possibilities are surely out there (just run it by me to see what I think).
  
• Not sure how the Final will work. Let's burn that bridge when we come to it: probably take-home and open book, which means it will only be doable for someone who keeps up with the class and does the work as we go along: if you don't, it will be just about impossible, I imagine (think of how confused you were by earlier exercises from the book, and how they became much easier because you worked on them).
  

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT MATERIALS HANDED IN BY EMAIL: you must use good labels in the subject line. For a quiz, for example, the subject should be "quiz March19" (or whatever the date is for that quiz). For Homework, the subject should be "HW: Fortson Exercises 15.1-5" (or whatever exercises are assigned). If you don't use good labels, it will be hard to keep track of all of the incoming email and that could cause problems.
