The course has no prerequisites. The Times is available in the newspaper section downstairs in Paley Library and is sold on campus in machines. Off-campus students can get the Times delivered daily at a very advantageous student price in areas where there is regular home delivery. The Times is also available on-line. Class discussions and lectures will supplement and highlight materials in the readings.
Students are, of course, responsible for all material in all classes.
Lecture notes for each class are posted on the class website. Students are urged to print the notes prior to each class and to add notes to this. Students find this way they are not pre-occupied with note taking and are more able to take part in discussion. I can provide academic advising in Political Science and Asian Studies. Email may prove most convenient.
