The class calendar lists all activities for each class day. I recommend tackling the assignments in the order listed.

  • Quizes and Exercises are mandatory, graded assignments.
  • Activities are ungraded assignments that generally support later assignments.
  • Refrences are documents provided for additional information.
  • Overviews help put each day in perspective, and sometimes contain last-minute pointers and notes.
  • Admin refers to administrative items needed to make the class run more smoothly.
• XCT = Expected Completion Time (provided to help you "clock" your work, has no effect on grades.)
  • H = Hours
  • M = Minutes

  • Readings are homework, and are not clocked.
