First Quarter 2023-2024
The required readings for the first quarter are now available. All other readings will be provided on the individual Canvas pages of the courses. Students should make sure to have access to required readings at the start of a course. If that becomes a problem for you for whatever reason, Ideefiks will gladly help you out. Note that is not necessary to buy the recommended readings to pass a course.
