Emphasis is placed on reading original sources where possible.
The most essential works have been placed on a required prerequisite reading list. You are advised to complete the reading before undertaking this course. In a course of this nature, with a challenging reading assignment for every topic, you should plan your semester course load with the expectation that this will be a course involving considerable time, especially if you are a slow reader. To guide you in your reading, study questions have been prepared and these will be distributed in class. Both the mid-term and final examinations will consist of essay questions selected from the study questions.
