COURSE REQUIREMENTS
This is a hybrid class, designed half online and half face-to-face. Textbooks, readings and videos are posted each week on the class blog and students are expected to finish reading the textbook and reading materials before starting the weekly assignments. Since this is a three-credit course and the class meets every other week, it is expected that students will spend a minimum of 5 – 6 hours a week on reading, watching videos and doing assignments.
