First of all, I hope all of you and your loved ones are well in these trying times.
I have thought long and hard on how to continue the course. It's challenging in these circumstances as it was designed to be interactive in nature and basically requires contact, which is impossible currently. It also includes a variety of materials from a lot of different sources, making consolidation difficult. Sadly, I don't think there is a way to fully replicate the intended experience in a distance learning setting. That said, when life gives you lemons, make lemonade, so this is how we will proceed.
Every Tuesday around normal class time I will upload an archive containing screenshots of all the materials that were planned for that week (minus the interactive parts, obviously). I will send you the answer keys for the tasks with the materials for the following week so you can check your work. If you have any questions about the tasks or solutions, feel free to contact me.
As far as the writing task is concerned, the task will be posted here when it was planned (mid-late April) and you will hand it in by e-mail.
The presentations are the most challenging part currently. You should make your slides and prepare the presentation, but I don't currently know how we will go about it. It all depends on the duration of the current apocalypse, so I will update you later when we have more information.
Stay safe!
