Schedule

The reading indicated in the last column on each row is the reading to be done in preparation for a future class. Reading responses are due on Moodle by noon on the day indicated. If you don't get a hard copy of the reading from me in class, you'll have to download the PDF from Moodle. For details on class policies and the big-picture view of what we're doing, please see the syllabus.
