Course Information

Semester Schedule

The following is a schedule of the material we will cover this semester.

Syllabus

A "syllabus" (from the Latin "list") is an academic document that outlines and summarizes the topics covered in an educational course. It is either written by a board or prepared by the instructor.

Syllabi are usually linked to a college's official course description - that defines which topics are going to be taught and how these will count toward a degree.
