Here is the run-down of the course. Although I have included the word "tentative," we will make every effort to stick to this schedule. As a student myself, I know that you want to know the "5 W's" when it comes to reading and assignments. Do, however, understand that there may have to be alterations due to this and that. _______________________________________________________________________________
