Class-by-Class Syllabus (subject to change per class announcement)

Although all students are expected to do the reading as assigned, it is possible (in fact, probable) that we will not get to everything in class lecture and discussion. Your course texts are excellent sources for papers and their bibliographies should be, at least, the starting places.
