English 3120 Weekly Schedule
Class format: online asynchronous
This is an online asynchronous class, meaning we don’t have set class meeting times. I might have occasional meetings to answer questions, much like office hours. Attendance for these meetings are NOT mandatory, although I would certainly highly recommend your attending them.
