Fall 2014 (Online)
Schedule

For each module, this syllabus shows the start date, the end date, and a link to the module. Click on the module title in the Module column to get to the module. Module Previews are available for modules that are not yet completely ready. Modules will normally be ready several weeks before their start date.

Most modules span 7 days. To accommodate university holidays, Module 1 spans 6 days; Module 13 spans 14 days. In every case, assignments are due at midnight on evening of the final day of the module. This is a sharp deadline; ELMS will not allow assignments to be submitted after midnight. You are welcome to start modules early, but you can not finish them late!

In Modules 2-13, five students will be asked to create one-page summaries of specific additional readings that are due at midnight on Thursday night (for Module 13, this is midnight of the second Thursday night). Links to these additional readings can be found in the Assigned Summaries column, and the assignment of additional readings to specific students for modules 2-5 will be available on ELMS by September 9.
