Today's Topics: 

I passed back and reviewed Quiz 3 before administering Test 1.

If you were absent today, please arrange a make-up time as soon as possible.

For those who missed the test today, here is a list of groundrules and hints regarding the test and the use of your time: Test 1 Guidelines. I displayed this on the screen before the test, and the same policies will apply to the make-up versions of the test (except for the test times).

Announcements:

The readings for next time are not myths, per se, but are historical records of Mesopotamian kings. In reviewing these historical documents, look for inconsistencies and oddities that may reveal hidden teasures ... and trouble.
