Weekly Schedule

*Schedule Subject to change

(It’s very easy to get whatever grade you want in the class by just keeping up with the basic work, but the grade awarded depends on you. There is no huge midterm or final that is a large percent of your grade, so make sure you budget your time to fulfill the weekly assignments.)

I reserve the right to shuffle, remove, or swap out readings and assignments at any point throughout the semester. This is meant to anticipate the anxieties and unknowns that might come with well, living through life. I will never increase your workload but will do my best to respond to events as they unfold. You will be informed of any changes ASAP, and I will make changes directly here and send out a message via email and Slack.
