Syllabus
The syllabus describes the expectations for the students and gives a general idea of how their work is graded.
Course schedule
The course schedule lays out the chronology of the course. This document also provides links to the activities and online content that accompany the course content. Typically students would attend a fifty minute lecture and read the section of the text book associated with that lecture. During the lecture, they would be given time to begin the activity worksheet (a link to this is given in the Activity column of the course schedule). The titles of the lectures link to online interactive programs which illustrate the concepts involved in the lecture. This online content requires Java and may require the user to install some software prior to being used.
