Past Rolling Schedule
Most readings are hyperlinked directly from this page. Readings are due on the day they show up in the schedule. If there isn’t a link to the reading, it is found in “The Tar Heel Writing Guide.”
Lecture slides will appear in Sakai as a PDF and on here as a link, but please note that they’re not really an adequate substitute for what we do in class.
Homework is always due by the next class.

Academic Poster
Poster sessions provide us with a great opportunity to interact, inform and develop networks of people with similar interests. It is one of several ways that scholars and professionals communicate their work. Often seen as a simple communication tool, poster sessions are a great way to communicate your methodology and research.
We will translate your exhibit into an academic poster. Please use these templates: https://guides.lib.unc.edu/posters/templates
While you can abide by traditional conventions of academic posters, I would suggest reviewing the following article for ideas on how to construct a unique poster:
Here are some sample student posters:
