We plan to follow this class schedule, but it's possible that topics / activities may occasionally vary from that shown.
Changes can be due to any class cancellations, requests to focus on areas of student interest, or other reasons.
It is each student's responsibility to be aware of, and to respond to, announced changes as they occur.
