Quiz 2 (Music c. 3500 BCE - 400 CE)] -- blank copy of same will be group emailed today --
if you don't receive, you might want to check email spam folder! --
please email completed copy (and lecture notes) as attached pdf / jpg to mus21stc@gmail.com or

There's actually never any penalty for late notes,
and only a modest one for late quizzes (A- max, rather than A).
Deadlines flexible (until I turn in grades),
certainly not late until I grade, which is toward end of the next week.
I will be contacting each of you individually soon, re scores of Week 1...
Thank you!
