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 the assignments. Each week will have a lesson on writing and wiki training for your collaborative wiki project. 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 usually leads to 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, but if you do, communicate with me so we can work it out. |
note: Some of the readings include exercises; only complete the exercises if they are explicitly assigned.

notes
- ↑ A note on due dates: Please communicate with me if you need additional time on assignments. Your success in the course depends on completing every assignment; opting not to finish all work is a losing strategy. If you have difficulties, please reach out to me.
- ↑ You may also want to or need to create a Wikipedia account, though that is not a requirement of this course. All evaluated work, including your collaborative wiki project, will be completed on LitWiki.
