Prep for TPOL

Be prepared to practice on the day you were assigned to practice - either Thursday or Friday. If you are not scheduled to practice, but feel like you need to, then you should talk to me.

By now you should have a thesis paper and should practice it in front of someone.

You should have answers to your reading questions, and be working on the other questions, if you are not finished already.
