Weekly Schedule & Notes

Assignments are a combination of readings (presented as links to the zybook course) and homework (presented as links to canvas). It is a good idea to skim the assigned reading before the lecture for the main ideas, attend lecture, and then to go through the assigned reading again to fill in the details that you missed, both in your initial skim of the reading and in the lecture. Assigned readings are due the next day at 11:59 pm indicated as ZB PA: Zybook Participation Activity
