9/2: hearing

...the first round of student mini-presentations in the first-year course.  It's hard for the students in the first round because everything is still so new and they haven't seen any examples yet.  But the three students today did a very nice job:  they chose interesting passages from Iphigeneia at Aulis and had thoughtful things to say about them.  I think they set the class up well for future mini-presentations.
