Sample Week
Materials including videos, assignments, and readings will be available at the beginning of each week. Below is a suggested guideline for spacing out assignments in order to provide enough time for work, interactions with the instructors, students, and student group, etc. While the rhythm may change depending on the week, students can generally expect to engage with course materials and each other in this way and thus may plan accordingly. Note the purposeful balance between individual and group assignments. Below is a sample from Week 4 of this course:
