Over the course of the semester, students will complete one discussion (introducing yourself to the class), three open-book tests, and one visual essay (creative exercise) in Canvas.

The required textbook by Eskilson can be purchased from several online vendors as well as the MSU Barnes & Noble bookstore. Test content will come exclusively from the textbook. A small selection of supplemental readings and videos will be posted to Canvas.
