A rigid schedule is not conducive to effective learning, since it would limit our flexibility in exploring ideas as they arise in class. A partial and approximate schedule, to serve as a baseline, appears in Figure 1; it will be updated as we progress. 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.
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.
