Weekly discussions are the main learning tool.
This is a writing intensive course. In addition to your weekly discussions, summaries, and tests, students will be required to develop an article review and a research paper. A class week begins on Monday and ends the following Sunday. The single greatest learning resource throughout this class will be each other. I view myself as a facilitator who will guide you through the course.
