Students are responsible for accessing and using all course materials, performing assignments, and any other activities needed to understand and retain the subject material. In the process, students must remember that the course is offered at the graduate level. This level of instruction means that expectations are high and detailed guidance is low. In the same way, students are expected to be motivated, active learners and questioners, and communicative. In addition, due to the structure of the course and the diversity of the students participating, most of the work will occur independently.
Computers are a fact of modern life and work and provide an important tool for communication.
The World Wide Web will also play a large role in course activities and communication. During the course of the semester, readings, exercises, responses, or research will be assigned. Please check this homework page frequently. Occasionally, assignments may also be made using email. Assignments will contribute to your course grade by amounts specified in the announcement of the activity.
