  • A display about privacy

  • Weekly commitments: small group work, lecture, discussion, readings, and tasks
  • Tasks are things you’re expected to complete every week. There aren’t other assignments except for the final projects you’ll present with your small group. We’ll check in every few weeks about the status of those projects, and when that happens you can share drafts or just outlines or thoughts.
  • Let Alison know if you need to be absent from one of the real-time lectures, or if you need to miss a whole week for any reason.

I’ve set it up this way so that the materials we create can easily be shared, but also, I understand that sometimes we might want to talk amongst ourselves, so I’ve created a “private” category on the Discourse messageboard that’s only viewable to our group. You can use this category whenever you want to talk about something that you don’t want the whole world to see.
