Syllabus


For each week this syllabus shows the top-level topics that we plan to cover. The reading titles are links to the reading list which describes the reading assignment for each week. The assignment titles are links to the assignment that is due at the beginning of that class. The slides link will take you to the Powerpoint slides and other materials that I plan to use in class that week, and the video links will take you to the Panopto recording of that class.
