Some required readings are posted on the web; the links are on the outline of readings. There may be a couple of web readings added as we go along, but otherwise we will follow the outline as presented here. I'll let you know if anything's added.

Try not to fall behind in the reading, since you may not have time to catch up. Readings are to be completed before the class meeting in which they're to be discussed. Look ahead: some topics require little reading, while some require significantly more.
