Thus, the readings for September 14th are to be read for the class to be held on September 14th. You are also expected to check the on-line course page at least twice a week for new material. Attendance, deep thought, attentiveness, and interest are all vital to your success in class but represent passive participation.
Active participation enhances the educational experience for everyone in the class.
