239 TR Reading Schedule

We will begin the split sections on the first day and finish them on the second day.  Yes, it will be awkward.  Presentation problems for split sections can happen either day, but once done they will be taken.  I recommend reading all of the split section for the first day, and then having less reading for the second day.  E.g. for opening day, 20 January, read 1-3, and for 22 January only read 4.  For one more example, for 27 January, read 5-6 and for 29 January read 7.  I trust you can follow this pattern.
