ENGL 298 B: Course Calendar
Calendar, as of Friday, November 18th
This is an adaptive class, meaning that what we do during each class meeting is affected both by class progress, and by the lectures in POL S 201. Your assignments are listed in the right-hand column.
In general, we will follow the reading calendar for POL S 201, and I will assume that you have completed all the assigned readings for that course each day. However, we will often focus on a specific section of an assigned text. Each Friday evening, you should check the Schedule section on the course website for an update on what we will be focusing on during the following week. These updates will be posted by 5 p.m. each week.
For each day, you should have completed any reading listed in advance, and be ready to discuss it in class.
