Course Syllabus

This schedule is dynamic and responds to the needs of the classroom situation and students as we move through the course. For sure, the readings will be rearranged, some dropped, others added, as the needs of the situation demands. All changes to the syllabus will be announced in class and made online. The online syllabus is always the final authority on what is due and when, and it is your responsibility to stay current with the changes. And remember: you are accountable for all work, even if you do not attend class

Remember: Always bring to class the text/readings on the assigned day.
