Table Sign up

This course has been organized into "tables." Each "table" has a topic or focus; a set of common (or shared) reading(s); and a list of readings from which you can select one to read individually. During the semester you will visit all five tables. Each table has 5 "chairs" where you might sit. Once you "sit down" at a given table, you'll be working at the table for a period of two weeks in total. During the time that you're "sitting" at your chosen table, you'll be completing several assignments before you're asked to "get up" and to select a different table at which to "sit down."

You're Invited!

In order to continue on with our journey, you will now sign up for your first table. You may choose any of five tables.  Remember, no more than 4 people can "sit" at any table. Why? Well, each "table" has only 4 "chairs." "First come, first served," as they say.

When all 4 chairs at one table are filled, you'll need to find another "table" to occupy (or "sit down at"). Make sense? The Curriculum Cafe is a busy place! Sign up soon!

A further note: After you sign up for a chair at a particular table, you will be prompted to then move onto the "Curriculum Cafe" where you will continue your journey.
