...being the schedule for class meetings.

Calendar

The course will cover topics that closely parallel the goals and objectives.

The following outline identifies topics for class meetings. Each meeting will be topical in the sense that we shall prepare for and discuss an aspect of single-subject research. To assist you in preparing for class meetings, each topic links to detailed descriptions, including readings, study questions, and assignments for the session. There is a separate document that describes the assignments in general and their contributions to final grades.
