Notes • Whenever a due date is listed, you are expected to have the assignment turned in on or before 11:59 p.m. on that date. • Instructor-provided readings will be made available under the “Instructor Provided” tab as the semester progresses. • Because all due dates—with the exception of the final exam—are on Sundays, the course calendar dates are organized Monday through Sunday, not the traditional Sunday through Saturday. • If you EVER have ANY questions, call me at 501-912-7272
