FALL 2010 Tentative reading schedule
The assigned book chapter MUST be read before coming
to class. There is a considerable amount of material to cover and
it will be necessary to use the lectures to go over key points and
topics of special interest. I encourage asking questions
in class and discussion of key points, so you should have READ the
material to be able to discuss it!
I reserve the right to change the lecture schedule as
necessary. Exam dates will stay the same, but the material covered
in the exam may vary from the schedule!
Lecture
Notes will be available in Blackboard after class.
