*Reminder: Each week is designed for you to have NO MORE than 2 hours committed to this development plan. That includes our 1 HR Friday meeting. Thus, you only are required to devote 1 HR to the material outlined below each week. The material provided below almost definitely requires more than an hour of your time. However, additional materials are added in order to supplement your development and assist your processing as you move forward throughout the semester. This could mean that the material would extend beyond 2 hours a week but that would be your own prerogative. The material should be prioritized in the following order:
