2. One Plausible Schedule for Preparatory Readings and Class Discussions

   These are sometimes called assignments. But, in fact, you have considerable choice. Read the Measurement of Learning file carefully. That should guide you. There are no rigid, inflexible rules, because such structure invariably causes harm at least in the form of failing to listen in good faith to those over whom it purports to exert authority. We call that "structural violence," in which harm is caused by adhering to the rules, to the neglect of the unique lives governed by those rules.

   We offer here a plausible reading schedule that should come close to my lecture schedule. For study notes and practical exrecises and self-tests, link to the Site Teaching Module for each week. Links on schedule below.
