Daily Schedule |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| This
is a tentative schedule, subject to change, due to class pace, unexpected
class cancellations, and other factors. |
| We
will follow this daily course outline pretty closely, and it provides you
with a sense of what to expect each |
|
| week,
so you can manage your time accordingly.
You are expected to come to class with assigned reading |
|
| for
each day completed, and have prepared any portfolio entries, annotations,
etc. , due on that day, unless I specify |
| otherwise
in class. |
