The way that the course is presented in the book is a bit confusing. Try to
map out how the actual course might progress on a week-by-week basis. If
possible figure out a way to represent the course in some sort of chart or
calendar that maps out reading assignments, writing assignments, etc. so that
we can get a better overview of the course.
