It is one of
the commonest of mistakes to consider that the limit of our power of perception
is also the limit of all there is to perceive. --C.W. Leadbeater
The assignments generally
assume that you have first read the material in your text. If you have any questions,
please be sure to E-mail me by following the directions
at this page (which will open in a new window.) The colored buttons reflect
which portion of the course you are covering (see Overview of Course Organization
lesson).
Topics
Dates beginning the week
are listed with each segment. I will post revisions by the Friday prior to
the listed date for those working over the weekend. All times are approximate
and may be adjusted to meet the needs of the class.
