The course will be taught with a blend of asynchronous and synchronous formats. That means you will be learning much of the material in your own time, but will also be meeting together online with the other students and instructor. We will all meet 4 times in the online class during the course. The first two weeks for introductions and group assignments, week 6 for check in and week 11 for group presentations. Online classes will be Tuesdays from 7 pm to 9 pm. Online group work is also part of the curriculum, you will be expected to work with other students on a regular basis to submit the two required assignments. Weekly office hours with the instructor will be available to ask any questions you might have about the course work and assignments
