1 HUM2X "THE ANCIENT GREEK HERO": RELEASE DATES AND ACTIVITIES Participants seeking to maximize opportunities for discussion with readers working at the same pace should follow the schedule below, which is synchronized with an associated course at Harvard University. Although we are sharing this ideal schedule, we want to emphasize two things: 1) new participants are welcome at all times, and 2) we honor the participation of those working at any level of engagement including those who may want to explore select portions of content. Participants who are working towards a Verified Certificate may work at their own pace to complete all self-assessments by the end of the project (May 10, 2018 at 19:59 EDT = 23:59 UTC). The readings, engagement, and self-assessments for each Hour are shown below. If you are unable to complete all the activities for a given Hour, we recommend that you prioritize the slow reading selections.
