The below schedule of assignments is subject to change. By now, you’re used to be hearing folks tell you be flexible, but nevertheless, I’ll say it again. Be flexible. I may need to make adjustments to the assignment requirements and\/or due dates. Know that whatever changes I make will be in the service of accessibility, feasibility, and continuity. If I add a reading that seems more conducive to a remote discussion (i.e. a short story that accompanies a film), I will also cut another assignment in order to ensure that the expected workload doesn’t increase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
