Revision as of 10:53, 2 October 2023
 | TL;DR: This schedule is tentative and subject to change. This is a digital document; do not print. Students are responsible for getting updates. |
This schedule represents the ideal outline for our study this semester. Yet, like all best-laid plans, we may not be able to keep up with our agenda. Please be flexible and try to look and read ahead whenever possible.
We will do our best to stick by this schedule, but I will inform you verbally, via an email, and/or a literal change to the schedule below whenever there is a deviation. Getting these updates is solely your responsibility. Therefore, this schedule is tentative and subject to change contingent upon the needs of the students and the professor, and dictated by time and other constraints which may affect the course. For face-to-face classes, this schedule reflects only an overview of the assigned reading and other major course assignments. It may not indicate specific class session assignments or activities. Specific in-class assignments may not be reflected on the schedule.
Directions: For each lesson, follow the links and complete the assignments. Each week will have you the major assignment and wiki training. Be sure you complete both before the due dates.[1]
 | All assignments are due Tuesday evenings at 11:59 pm. Procrastination and posting at the last minute will earn you lower grades. Please read ahead each week to know what is expected. I recommend doing a little work for the class each day. Do your best not to get behind. |
