Such information makes a welcome contribution to classroom dialogue. Sharing of resources, experience, insights and knowledge is expected. Homework assignments not listed in the syllabus may be required when necessary. A variety of online technologies and publishing tools will be used to ensure that students have fluency with those tools prior to the Fall trimester.
