Jour 198

Internet Research

 Schedule
Although your own work time can be wonderfully flexible online, classes still need structure. We will structure class assignments around Lehigh's summer evening schedule. Those classes meet two evenings a week. 

Our reading and writing assignments will be due Monday at 7 p.m. and Thursday at 7 p.m. 

With this calendar, we'll divide the six weeks of the summer semester into twelve areas of study that can help us explore Internet research online:
