Week-by-Week Schedule
Course content will be delivered through
lectures, videos, student presentations, and individual readings. Below are the
likely topics we will cover and a proposed ordering. However, this schedule is temporary.
It will be finalized after a reading and presentation date has been determined
for each student. The readings are listed here in short form; see the reading list for
complete citations. The papers to be presented by individual students are
listed by category below; remember that each presenter will eventually write a
brief summary about the paper presented.
