25 October: I have posted a new handout that discusses the second mandatory book you'll be reading for this class. You can click HERE to read about it or find it in the handouts portion of the website. We will discuss this in depth on Monday, November 2nd in class, but feel free to get your book early if you are so inclined. As explained on the first day of class, a second book is mandatory. We'll have a large 50 point assignment based on this in several weeks. |
