This quarter will be focused on '''developing a point of view'' in regards to the same types of content. This is really more a shift in emphasis than the introduction of something entirely new. You all did a bit of the latter last quarter. We will continue to do a bit of the former this quarter as well. | ||

Although you will not receive a numeric grade, passing this class is not automatic and I will assess your work and evidence of learning throughout the quarter.
