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.
