I update my website WEEKLY (usually on Sundays) for the upcoming week. Each update will include a link to the previous week's newsletter as well as the homework assignments for the week. If homework plans change during the week, I will do my best to provide the updated info ASAP. Students should expect to have daily homework, and will only be required over weekends or breaks if students are missing work.
