Section 7 Course schedule
I will attempt to follow the schedule below, bearing in mind that some adjustments are always needed, and this is probably more likely as we attempt to navigate an online environment. Numbers below refer to textbook sections.
Every class will have some time for Q&A, and for discussion. Wednesday classes will have time dedicated to group work. Depending on the week, this group work could be the group portion of a test, or time to work on one of the assignments.
Online homework assignments will be due Mondays. This is because tests will run on Tuesdays, and you are better off on a test if you've done your homework ahead of time.
Acronyms used below:
CS — chapter summary
GA — group assignment
IT — individual test
GT — group test
