Please read the Modules before class. In class we will focus on concepts from the modules. This is the anticipated schedule, we may be a bit ahead or behind as the semester progresses. Summary notes from class will be available online on Blackboard, but they will not be able to include all the details, discussions, Q & A's or class demonstrations. For these you gotta come to class. (hint!). We will assign teams to present an issue from Taking Sides during week one and will have the teams present on the days indicated below.
