Schedule

All course reading materials will be provided to students as digital downloads from DropBox so they can be loaded into the iPad app “Subtext.” We will use Subtext to have discussions “within” these texts as well as ask questions and share resources. In this way, Subtext will serve as our primary “learning management system” in this course.

Reading assignments listed below should be completed after the ‘parent’ class under which they are listed, prior to the next class. Assignments in BOLD are required, others are recommended but optional.
