Doctoral book posts deadlines

Ramya is posting by October 28th
Julio is posting by November 4th
Sanjukta is posting by November 20th
Hum is posting by November 25th

Please keep the length of the blog post similar of that to Ramya's blog post on the realestateprogram.blogspot.com. Remember, focus on what you think is important for doctoral students interested in finance and real estate. Do NOT try to cover all the details of your assigned text.

Here is the schedule for the second half of the semester:

Hum and Sanjukta chapters 17 and 18, respectively, on November 11th.
Fahad presenting chapter 23 on November 18th.
