This is a general plan for our discussions. It is subject to revisions and modifications in correspondence with the evolution of the class.
Students are responsible for knowing and adhering to due dates for readings, projects, and other in-class activities. I will announce any changes to the schedule during class time and post them to the class website. Students are responsible for noting all changes and adhering to them. Please check the web site at least twice a week.
