Directions: Follow the announcements on Brightspace as well as the syllabus (above), which will instruct you on when/how to complete the following modules with the accompanying assignments. To access the readings and exercises, click on the hyperlinks. Remember to copy/paste/complete classwork assignments in your Classwork Google doc. Also, be aware that the schedule will likely jump around so that you're moving back and forth between modules. I schedule things based on the needs of the class, so the schedule isn't always linear.
