Each week is referenced by the Monday that begins it, e.g. the week of August 24th, our class session is scheduled August 24th; your blog post is due August 27th; blog post comments can begin as soon as the first posts are made and continue until August 30th.
Readings should be done by class time, while technical exercises may wait to start until after class unless they are marked as “before class” activities. I expect Slack discussion will mostly occur between class and the blog deadline but there is no hard limit on starting or ending a discussion; feel free to keep poking at a topic that particularly interests you or is relevant to your group project, as long as it doesn’t cause you to fall behind on other module(s). The deadline for blog posts and comments is 11:59pm on their respective due dates.
