readings, discussions, lectures

IN RESPONSE TO the changes dictated by the District, I am making this modified Class Schedule available to all of you. The changes are actually slight. though it does require me to chop off an assignment near the end, which will be fine; you can use a break near the end as you are prepping on Finals and doing Final Projects.

For online students this shift is minimally disruptive. If you are off visiting friends/family on Week 9 because you have already made plans, that's no big deal as long as you have internet access. If you already have plans taht will keep you away from computers that week, that's fine; you can do the assignments during the off time (and, in fact, I encourage you to try to get some of the reading and even work on the writing during the next two weeks; it will give you A LOT more time to finish up the papers and Discussions, and I will actually open the next few Discussions din case you want to start them early. Just try to pace yourselves.

Will this be an accounting nightmare for me for the next few weeks? Well, YEAH. That's OK; it just means I'll have a little less time to play WoW and binge watch Netflix; I'll be fine :)
