NOTE:

Each of the assigned readings is expected to be completed in 50 minutes, resembling a one 50-minute face-to-face class session. It is recommended that students stick to the dates given for each reading to organize their study time. Before starting the first reading assigned in a particular chapter, it is also recommended that students would read the Student Learning Objectives as well as the Conclusion of that chapter. The Student Learning Objectives, found at the beginning of the chapter, would help focus students' thoughts as they read. The Conclusion, found at the end of the chapter, would help students get the Big Picture of that chapter.
All QQ4U are found at the end of each chapter in the text from which the readings are assigned, unless otherwise indicated. You will answer the questions in D2L.
