How to use this wiki

You will have direction on what I want on the assignments, but you will have considerable leeway as to how to write them, what to include, how much detail to include and so on.  You can approach these assignments as opportunities to engage with your own learning, or not.  In part the value of this course for you depends on how you see your tasks on these assignments.
