Plausible Schedule for Reading Course Texts:

Such a schedule will keep you up with class discussions. But such a schedule will also run into time conflicts with other constraints in your lifeworld. Use your common sense to adjust your reading to what fits for you. If you find a text difficult, read the study notes first. Come talk to me or Pat about it. Sometimes we can help. If you are comfortable with the reading, then help someone who isn't. That's a good and caring thing to do. There is no intraclass competition for grades, so that all the help you can give will make others more productive and increase participation in our discourse, and it can only add to my estimation of you as a student.

This schedule includes only text readings. For the rest of your study preparation please link on each week's Site Teaching Module.
