I’ve divided the semester into learning modules that provide course materials in a logical order, guiding you through the content and assessments. The modules we will cover this semester are designed to help you connect to learning in a meaningful way and correspond with the chapters in our textbook; please note that we will not cover all of the chapters in our textbook and we will jump out of order from time to time.
For each chapter I have provided you with a study guide to help focus you as you read the book and take notes. Here are a few things to know about the pace of this course:
We do not cover all chapters in the book.
We do not go in exact order through the chapters in the book.
You can expect to cover one complete chapter per week.
All resources, activities, and assignments are used to assess your learning.
