The following is a rough schedule of what I would like to have happen this
semester, and it is subject to change based on what we actually manage to
accomplish. Length estimates are based on the number of "class sessions"
that I expect an activity to take (thus, two days is actually one week). I
would really like it if we could "gain" time this semester. That is, it
would be GREAT if several of the 2 day activities could be done by the next time
we meet. If at any time you finish an activity prior to it's "due date"
you should contact me and we can discuss if it is appropriate to start the next
activity early. That would allow us to have a little extra time for one of
the "extra projects" at the end of the semester, or better yet, to add in a
third extra project.
On the flip side, I understand realities of the semester and there may be
times that I am willing to extend an activity to a longer length of time based
on snow days, sick days, test days, etc.
