How to Read the Schedule
Due Dates
Due dates for application questions and synthesis questions are guidance only. It is highly recommended that students complete these assignment, but completion will not be monitored to allow for student flexibility. However, submission of synthesis questions is required to open exam questions on D2L.
Exams and reflections are not optional assignments and should be submitted by the assigned due dates.
Class Discussion
The Class Discussion dates will cover the topic listed in the Assignment column. Students (in person or on Zoom) can either form groups or work individually on the assignment. The instructors will be present to answer questions.
