Faculty: Below is a streamlined schedule to share with students; it allows students to see the full semester without becoming overwhelmed. It does not include the detailed prompts students will need to complete weekly assignments. You can find details regarding all assignments and readings in the Instructor Schedule once you have cloned this course–otherwise, you can review it on the FYW Model Course Hub. You can then share these details with students in the Weekly Class Agendas. The Week 1 agenda is already published here as a model; all other weekly agendas have been labeled in drafts and are ready to be filled with the weekly assignments.  If you prefer, you can change or tailor the schedule for your course. You might want to divide the work into two class meetings per week. Please delete this informational block when you are ready to share your site with your students. You can find the Instructor Schedule listed in Dashboard > Pages > All Pages. You can find agenda drafts in Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Drafts.
