Course Topics and assignments

This is only an outline for the course. The topics and Topics and assignments listed below are intended to be a Assignments guideline; therefore additional class topics and assignments may be assigned, may change or be adjusted to best accommodate the needs of the class.

Because of time constraints, we will try to follow the schedule as best as possible. Whenever possible, schedule changes will be discussed as a group; however, I have the final say. All assignments and readings must be completed before each class meeting.
