How the course is taught
The class is divided into nine modules and four special event
assignments. Each module contains one or more topics. Contained
within each topic is an outline of relevant material from your
textbook, including web links to related information. The
outlines are intended to guide you through the reading, and they
are double spaced so that you may print them and supplement them
with your own notes.
You should read and complete each topic in order by the due dates
listed. Generally, each topic will consist of required reading(s)
from the text book, presentation of on-line materials, on-line
activities, an assignment, and some form of communication.

course. (You should print this out and check off each item as you
complete it).
