Below, you'll find a list of assignments for this week. You'll also find general resources available here throughout the course.
The first five resources must be viewed and/or completed before 11:30 p.m. on Wednesday night if you want to remain in the course. After you've completed this block, move into the Week 1 assignment block for further assignments (due by Sunday night at 11:30 p.m.).
You'll receive 1-2 reminders a week about what's due. In addition, if I change deadlines, or when I post grades, I'll send a quick message letting you know. (I will not share your number outside of this class or use it for anything but class communication).
