Written Expression: Plan for Winter Semester 2021/22
WHICH GROUP IS DOING WHICH UNIT, WHEN?
Initially, we will be working online, and asynchronously, so the dates for the first few weeks are only a rough guideline—a suggestion for how to organize your learning.
The deadlines for submitting work are also (slightly) flexible.
When videoconferences start, you may find it helpful to know which group is doing what, when. For example, if you have to miss a class due to another obligation, you may perhaps be able to catch up by attending in another group, in accordance with the table below.
There will be a one-week break in late November or early December. Currently the break is scheduled for 14/15 December. I will issue an updated version of the plan if this changes.
