Class readings
This is a
tentative calendar of readings. If class discussions or class activities take
longer than I originally estimated, I will not cut them short to follow this
schedule of readings. We will simply reschedule the readings.
Additionally,
I may substitute new topics and/or articles for some of the ones included in
this schedule, particularly if most of you show an interest for some topics or
articles not planned in this calendar.
Please
note that several assignments, such as homework, presentations, and
evaluations, may require additional readings.
