  • An assignment.

You will be required to read the materials and do the assignment.

You will also have an opportunity to send us your comments and questions, which we will respond to.

Each week we will send you a presentation, along with some key readings. You are required to read the presentation and make a short summary of the key readings and submit it to us at the end of the week. It means you will have a short assignment to do each week.
