Course Syllabus
The syllabus shows when we will have quizzes and games. Be sure to bring your game on the assigned day and be prepared to teach it. It should be all punched out and you should have read the rules and practiced the game a few times.
Watch this syllabus for quiz times! Quizzes will cover the book readings up to that point, including any earlier chapters! Therefore, keep up with the readings.
