Schedule
All readings in this schedule must be completed by the day under which they are listed. This requirement is assessed via TRAs, homework and End-of-Unit Challenges throughout the semester.
CAUTION: I reserve the right to make revisions to on-line materials prior to their discussion in class at the relevant point in the semester. Therefore WAIT until that time to print out scenarios and reading guides.
Assignment Cycle for All Two-Week Units
With the exception of the first and final weeks of class, the schedule for the semester follows the same two week cycle of assignments, as summarized below, with links to the introductory unit materials. Familiarizing yourself with this cycle will speed up the process of getting oriented to the course. Dates and topics for the specific units are listed on the schedule overview page and can be accessed via the links in the navigation bar on the left.
