The course content in Unit 1 includes readings, video programs, and course assignments, all of which can be used as sources for your paper.

I prefer a video chat over a phone call but I prefer either the video chat or phone call over an extended, back-and-forth Q&A by email. If the issue can be addressed very briefly, email is fine; otherwise, send me an email message to set up the video chat or phone call.Prof. Mulling
