 ## Announcements ##
 
-*	The seminar meets on Mondays from 4-6, in 
-the Linguistics building at 10 Washington Place, in room 104 (back of the first floor).
+* This is the time of the semester when some people start slipping
+  behind with the homework.  Don't.
 
-*	One student session will be held every Wednesday from 3-4. The other will
-be arranged to fit the schedule of those who'd like to attend but can't
-make the Wednesday time. (We first proposed Tuesdays from 11-12, but this
-time turns out not to be so helpful.) If you're one of the students who
-wants to meet for Q&A at some other time in the week, let us know.
-
-	You should see the student sessions as opportunities to clear up lingering
-issues from material we've discussed, and help get a better footing for what
-we'll be doing the next week. It would be smart to make a serious start on that
-week's homework, for instance, before the session.
-
-*	Henceforth, unless we say otherwise, every homework will be "due" by
-Sunday morning after the Monday seminar in which we refer to it.
-(Usually we'll post the assignment shortly before the seminar, but don't
-rely on this.) However, for every assignment there will be a "grace
-period" of one further week for you to continue working on it if you
-have trouble and aren't able to complete the assignment to your
-satisfaction by the due date. You shouldn't hesitate to talk to us---or
-each other!---about the assignments when you do have trouble. We don't
-mind so much if you come across answers to the assignment when browsing
-the web, or the Little Schemer book, or anywhere. So long as you can
-reason yourself through the solutions and experience for yourself the
-insights they embody.
-
-	We reserve the privilege to ruthlessly require you to
-explain your solutions in conversations at any point, in section or in
-class.
-
-	You should always *aim* to complete the assignments by the "due" date,
-as this will fit best with the progress of the seminar.
-
-	The assignments will tend to be quite challenging. Again, you should by
-all means talk amongst yourselves, and to us, about strategies and
-questions that come up when working through them.
-
-	We will not always be able to predict accurately which problems are
-easy and which are hard.  If we misjudge, and choose a problem that is
-too hard for you to complete to your own satisfaction, it is still
-very much worthwhile (and very much appreciated) if you would explain
-what is difficult, what you tried, why what you tried didn't work, and
-what you think you need in order to solve the problem.
