Weekly Schedule

The following is the weekly schedule for the course.The schedule will be firmed up when we know how many students are in the course and how many presentations we need to schedule.

In the weekly schedule, I have indicated the material that you need to read. Whenever there is a reference to the textbook,  I will be lecturing. The papers will be presented by students. Each presentation will be 30 minutes followed by 15 minutes of discussion (sometimes we may extend these times) and each presenter will be required to submit (at the time of the presentation) a 5-7 page critique of the paper. This will count towards one of the two paper critiques. Requirements for the paper critiques are given here. Note that the papers to present are not yet indicated -- they will come later.
