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.

All modules except Module 15 (the final exam) end on Sunday night. Ten of the modules include an assignment, which is due at midnight on the last day of the module. This is a sharp deadline; late assignments will receive no credit. You are welcome to start modules early, but you can not finish them late! Most modules span 7 days, although to accommodate the University schedule Module 1 spans 12 days and Module 8 spans 14 days.

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 8, this is midnight of the first 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 noon on Monday February 5.
