The following schedule lists the topics we will cover and approximately the number of meetings we will spend on each topic. The schedule is tentative. Most likely, some things will change during the semester, and I will revise the schedule as necessary.
The Reading column lists the assigned reading for the meeting. You should view the readings as an introduction to spark discussion in class.
The Assignment column lists the due date for each assignment.
