Schedule

At the beginning and end of each class, I typically announce the topics and textbook sections covered in that class and those due at the next class. It is important that students read the material before the class in which it is discussed and, in general, keep up with readings and studies. An approximate schedule appears in Figure 1. Please use it 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.
