This schedule will be followed as closely as possible. If changes need to be made, they will be announced in class. Missing class is not a valid excuse for being unaware of changes to the schedule. Additional suggested reading assignments and responsibility for leading discussion and making presentations will be announced in class. Students should set aside a minimum of three hours per week outside of class time to complete reading assignments and integrate notes from the readings into their lecture notes.
