The following is a tentative schedule of assignments. Please
get into the habit of checking the schedule several times a week. I
will announce any major changes both to the Discussion Board and through
email.

Deadline/Date |
Other Schedule Notes:
-
Deadlines for submission of papers and exams are posted
both in the schedule and on the assignment sheets.
-
I have not posted a deadline for the reading
assignments. I think you can take it for granted that they have to
be read by the time you answer the discussion questions.
-
Assignment sheets for papers can be found on the paper
page.
-
Assignment sheets for exams can be found on the exam page.
-
Please note the difference between Week One deadlines and
requirements and Week Two-Sixteen deadlines and requirements. I'm
allowing for some time for everyone to get books and learn the system,
but we'll need to move ahead quickly.
Week One : August 23 - August
