This is the course syllabus. As with all good teaching, your interaction with the materials may indicate that I must differentiate instruction week to week. Hence this may require that we shift readings, assignment due dates, or sometimes supplement or change readings. All of these changes will be communicated a week prior to the dates items are due.
