Consider this course to be an experiment. What doesn't work can often be as interesting as what does. Go with the flow when things shift. Develop your sense of humor. Learn how to learn how you learn.
Attendance is crucial.
Missing two or more sessions of any component of the course is a basis for loss of credit. Be present and prepared. Read materials and take notes before class. Late work must be pre-approved. This series of lectures will provide an introduction to, and context for, the week's activities.
