We discuss review papers and view movies corresponding to the lecture material in small groups that report their ideas to the class verbally and in writing. Review papers are assigned one week in advance. Grading is based upon participation, several short writing assignments and exam questions. The exams cover material from the lectures, text and discussion. The questions are short answer.
Attendance is required on exam days.
The first exam will be an introduction to the exam format. Exam 2 will cover all of the material from the start of class.
