Course schedule. This is primarily an online course, but there are four class meetings. The first is required, but there are two alternate dates (both meetings will be held, come to the one of your choice). An extra assignment can be substituted for course meetings 2, 3 and 4, for students who keep up with the assignments.

Normal class meetings are Saturday mornings in 223 State Hall.

  1. September 18, 9 AM - Noon in 223 State Hall on campus.
    OR (both will be held, your choice of which one to come to)
    Wednesday Sept 15 6 PM - 9 PM in computer lab B in the Undergraduate Library (2315 UGL) on campus.
  2. October 23, 9 - 11 AM
  3. November 20, 9 - 11 AM
  4. December 11, 10 AM - Noon

Major assignment: essays. If you read the Syllabus, you will find the textbooks and the major assignments. The major assignments are reading the textbooks and (later) some web pages, and writing Essays. Both are described in the Syllabus, along with the lesser assignments.

The Essays topics are listed on the Essay Topics web page. Before you start reading a textbook, you should read the list of Essay Topics for that textbook. Please note that each Essay will be on one topic from the list; you are not asked to write an Essay that covers all of the topics, or even more than one of the topics. But definitely read the topics first, so that you will have them in mind as you read the that textbook.
