Syllabus - The syllabus presents my concept for course objectives and requirements. Note - syllabus content is subject to change, although I will attempt to notify class participants whenever a change is made to the syllabus. A copy of the syllabus is available here in Adobe portable document format (PDF). Note - Adobe Acrobat (PDF reader) is available for free from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html

Quiz Dates:

June 28	Quiz 1
July 12	Quiz 2
July 21	Quiz 3 - Final Quiz

Class Schedule - In no case should the notes be seen as fully representative of the topics covered. They are simply notes and as such are incomplete and only representative of the general direction of my thoughts for that class. Expect that there will be variation from the information published here.

Class Dates: Note that these are only approximate dates on which subject material will be covered. Expect deviation from the schedule listed below, as well as from the class syllabus.
