These notes will serve as the basis of discussion participation and will be handed in at the end of the class period . The chapter readings from Brockett are indicated on the syllabus to be an approximate accompaniment to the class lectures. Please be aware, however, that lecture material and the material in the textbook may diverge or set different emphases. I don't require you to read chapters exactly for the days indicated, but you will be responsible for the content of the assigned chapters at exam time. Study sheets will be passed out in advance and are available for printout here.
Attendance is mandatory.
More than eight unexcused absences may mean failing the class. Twelve or more absences will inevitably result in a failing grade. Attendance at all related events is encouraged.
