LBSC 671 - Creating Information Infrastructure
Fall 2013 - Section 0101
Required Readings
The readings serve two important functions in this course. The first
is to introduce you to the topics that we will discuss in class,
something that can only be done before the indicated week's class
begins. The second is to convey material in more detail than it is
possible to discuss in class. Since the material in the readings is
testable regardless of whether it is discussed directly in class, it
would be a good idea to go back over the readings after class is over
in order to ensure that you have understand the details that are
related to the concepts we discussed in class. This is a rapidly
changing field, and occassionally new readings become available (or
come to my attention) that I would like to take advantage of, so
please check back here a week before each class for updates. Note
that the readings are not the only assignments; there are also
textbook chapters, videos, and homework. See the schedule for a complete list.
