This class is full, with a full waitlist. I don't know how many students I'll be able to add at this time. PETITIONERS: If you're interested in adding the class, please email me on Tuesday 2/16 or later (earlier requests will not be considered). I'll notify you at the end of the week whether I can add you. ENROLLED AND WAITLISTED STUDENTS: you will be dropped to make room for petitioning students if you don't attend class the first day.
