Here you will find the course materials and assignments you will need for each week. Click on the desired week to reveal more information. You are expected to complete reading/listening/viewing assignments by that week’s class. “Doing” assignments should be submitted by 5pm on the day of class.
I try to list each week’s assignments in the most logical order possible, so I recommend completing them in the order that they are listed. You should also notice that I often include a prompt for the assignment. These prompts should help to guide your thinking as you complete each assignment. I recommend writing a sentence or two reflecting on each prompt for your own notes!
