ASSIGNMENTS
AND DUE DATES
Assignments are due at the end of each week of class. You should complete the study questions for each lesson and the essays where noted and email me both. Absolutely the worst thing you can do is fall behind, so set aside some regular times each week when you know you will not be disturbed and complete each lesson.
Specific assignments and pages to read from the text are at the beginning of each lesson.
