About Assignments

  
 

Each week has a set of assigned tasks. They will nearly always include at least one forum discussion, and they may include other tasks such as writing or research assignments. Each task has a due date, and it's up to you to keep track of what's due and when.

This page has not only links to the weekly assignment pages but also to course information pages. You should read each of them carefully. If you have any questions after having read the assignment or information pages, please get in touch with me right away. Thanks. lr
