The required course assignments listed below are all submitted to MyCourses, but notice that some also include a step where you must bring or prepare material for discussion in class. The assignment-specific materials for completing each one are available in connection with the assignment instructions and submission boxes.

You will receive feedback in different forms from the teacher as well as from your co-students. Throughout the course, you are expected to make corrections and develop your work further based on the feedback and topics covered during the course.
