Designed “The layered ‘OK’” and “Aim it at the good,” and gives the week 1 and week 2 lectures. Responsible for the two decisions students ask about most. The lectures happen outdoors, and grading is a short audit plus one open-ended capstone rather than anything weekly. Weekly grading, on this material, tends to teach the opposite of the course.

Keeps the reading list short and the citations real. If a claim on this site has a name and a year attached, she has read the paper; if it doesn’t, it is someone’s hunch and is labelled as one.
