 | 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.
All journal readings may be downloaded from my file server.
If this is your first time here, be sure you expand the following section and read it carefully.
Overview and Instructions for Work
| ||
|---|---|---|
All assignments are due Tuesday evenings at 11:59 pm. Have the assigned text(s) read by Sundays at the latest, so you can post your questions and responses to Packback well ahead of the due date. Procrastination and posting at the last minute will earn you lower grades. I suggest the following work schedule for each week:
Look ahead and plan your reading accordingly. I have tried to keep reading to a minimum, but if you are a slower reader, like I am, you may want to plan out your reading schedule so that you can meet the course deadlines. |

notes
- ↑ Even if you do not respond to a seed prompt, you are required to read them and the links they contain. This is crucial background material about the texts and course content. Failure to read these will result in potential lower grades and failure.
- ↑ Again: pay attention to these prompts, as they might give hints as to what is important for you to know for the test. These are often asking about the background materials I have posted for the primary texts, usually based on lectures.
- ↑ It is imperative that you have the unit complete by the end of the first week of class. Failure to do so will have you reported as a no-show, and you will be removed from the class. If this happens, you will not be readmitted.
- ↑ You must follow the writing conventions and guidelines outlined in this document, including the presentation of titles. This should all be review from ENGL 1102.
- ↑ You should have received an invitation from Packback already, unless you just registered for the course. If you were not invited, please let me know or register yourself. Note: you need to know your course section number when registering.
- ↑ You will need to be signed in to Packback and have access to our course to answer all responses. This will count as one of your required responses for this week.
- ↑ On weeks like this where you have more than one lesson assigned, you still only have to write one question and two posts/responses on Packback, even though each lesson asks you to write more.
