The course schedule is a great place to add weekly readings, assessments and their due dates. Assessment item descriptions are on the Assessments page so you can link to them rather than duplicating content. We included some sample learning activities there as well as a sample mid-semester project and final project. We are using the Fall 2021 semester for our schedule.
