You have a number of choices to make for your assignments in this class but there are some aspects where you do not have a choice. The first is class participation. Everyone is expected to participate regularly and actively on the bulletin boards and at the weekly live sessions. Class participation counts for 35% of your grade.The second aspect where you have no choice is Assignment 5: the Group Budget Exercise. I am hopeful that we can agree on group assignments during our on-campus time together so that you can become comfortable with your team members and tackle the assignment in plenty of time to have some give and take and to reach consensus before submitting the assignment.
You do have choices for the other five assignments -- both among and within each assignment. You are asked to choose three of the assignments and then within the three you have chosen, select either the A or B option.
The list of assignments and their due dates are provided below. Detailed information about each assignment will be posted on the LEEP course space.
