Schedule

An approximate schedule appears in Figure 1. This schedule will be updated based on the specific topics and readings selected by the class after the first few class meetings. The notation Rn refers to the nth item in the reading list.

Please use the schedule only as a rough guide to plan your studies. Do not use it to schedule travel or other events. If you need a definite answer on when something will or will not occur, you should check with me.
