Class Preparation Assignments

Below are links to the various "class preparation" assignments for course readings, web work, and the course project. Each is listed, in order, with a date in parentheses for when it is due. Note that the due dates are subject to change, though this date will only only be moved back as the course syllabus promises.

You are responsible for doing each of these assignments and including them in the journal that you submit at the end of the semester along with your final project. Occasionally, the instructor might ask you to hand these assignments in on the due date.
