I’m taking this class online during the Fall semester of 2009.  For a list of courses  I’m taking or have taken please visit My MFA Schedule.  This class is generally referred to as ‘Concept”.

Note: While this information is subject to change it came from the AAU online catalog.   Courses and material should an do evolve over time and this is my historical record that shows what the course description was at the time I took the course.
