Getting Started
Course Structure
This course is broken into topics. The topics remain open throughout the semester. However, you should carefully follow the due dates. Every topic is broken into three sections: Overview, Resources, and Activities.
Overview
Each topic includes an overview page that must be read before reviewing the resources and completing the assigned activities. The overview will include an introduction to the topic, a list of the learning outcomes, a list of required and supplemental resources, and detailed instructions for any activities and assignments. During our class meeting times, I will go through the overview components with you as well.
Resources
Resources will be listed under Required and Supplemental subheadings. Reviewing the required resources is mandatory. Supplemental resources are suggested if you want to get additional information about a topic. Resources may include links to online articles, text listing offline reading assignments, PDFs, PowerPoints, videos, interactive presentations, or additional file types.
Activities
Activities are required unless they are specifically marked as optional. Activities may include written assignments, video assignments, forums, quizzes, exams, presentations, or other participatory activities.
