Schedule

(Requires Acrobat Reader, download free copy here)

In the course schedule shown on pages 3-5 of the printable syllabus, the dates given for exams and project presentations are definite and unlikely to change.

However, the dates associated with textbook readings are more approximate, telling you what you need to be reading to keep up with the class and to understand the concepts we are dealing with.

We will not by default spend class time going over the assigned reading -- but we will go over anything that you have questions about. So you are encouraged to ask questions about anything in the reading that is not clear to you. We will devote as much class time as we need to answer all questions and to clarify whatever is unclear; then we will spend the rest of our time in class looking at the same concepts from other viewpoints and/or in greater depth.

Although it will not display neatly in all browsers, an html version of this course schedule contains links to the readings that are not in either textbook.
