Georgetown College xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Schedule Schedule: The following tentative schedule should be used as a guide for the completion of assignments and readings. Assigned readings should be completed by the class date listed in the left column. Please note that reading assignments include passages from a two-volume work titled Interpreting Canada's Past. In the schedule below, you must take note of the volume number (e.g., 1:223-253 or 2:54-67) and the subtitle, either Pre-Confederation or Post-Confederation, to find the correct reading. The transition point between the first and second volumes is roughly Fall Break.
