Syllabus Description (from Canvas):

Here is the course syllabus, in Word format.

I have set the modules in our Canvas site to contain some major headings in the syllabus, and thereafter week by week with links for readings and other social media to be used in class. Do read the syllabus in its entirety. Note that there may be changes to the course that are not reflected in the Word version of the syllabus.

A course summary will populate below with quizzes, exams, and final project as those assignments are posted.
