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 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.
