3.5 Course Syllabi, Textbooks, and Online Discussions
Course syllabi are made available online prior to the course in sufficient time for students to order textbooks and become acclimated to the course.
Doctoral students are expected to be on the cutting edge of knowledge. Therefore, current editions of multiple edition textbooks will normally be used in the research courses.
Foundational research online discussions will start in early September, early January, and the middle of May for the fall, spring, and summer courses, respectively. Discussions may be paused for one week before the on-campus seminars and one week after the on-campus seminars.
