This document outlines the tentative schedule and assignments for a College Study Methods course in the fall of 2013. It includes 8 topics that will be covered throughout the semester, with associated readings, quizzes, discussions and other assignments. Students are informed that late submissions will not be accepted and the instructor reserves the right to make changes to the schedule as needed.

1. College Study Methods (TENTATIVE) FALL 2013 Schedule
*I don’t accept late work because it is not fair to those who get their work in on time. If you attempt to turn in
an assignment late but don’t see an option for submission it is because the system automatically hides the
submission link after 2:00 pm on Monday afternoons (unless otherwise specified.)
*I reserve the right to change the schedule as needed. I will post an announcement alerting you of any changes.
