Introduction
Each week you will find 3 categories:
A. Weekly Agenda – this category provides the class meeting dates and the content overview for each session.
B. Readings – the readings listed are required for successful completion of the actives, assignments and quizzes for the week.
C. Action Items/Deadlines – this list identifies your tasks for the week. It is a comprehensive list of the activities you need to complete during the week to be successful in the course. It also shows specifically what is due each week (in yellow), and the due date. The cycle of assignments for the course runs Monday thru Sunday. All weekly assignments are due on the Sunday at the end of the week by 11:59pm in BB Learn.
NOTES:
The schedule here is the same as the provided course schedule. This has been created to make access easy for students during the semester. This schedule will also have active links to lectures, documents, handouts and videos. Links will become active as we proceed through the semester for each week in real time.
Problem numbers are abbreviated in the following manner: Problem 1, Part 1 = P1-1. Sketchbook = SB. These formulas are used consistently throughout the syllabus, Bb Learn and on the course website.
