LECTURE OUTLINES AND ASSIGNMENT LINKS

Spring, 2026

Each cell begins with a tag phrase that descibes the class, linked to place in the Syllabus where it is described. Sometimes there is more than one phrase so linked. Under that is the date of the class for this year’s course/seminar, linked to the outline that I used in class when the class has already been held.

Under the dates for the class there are one or more links to the documents assigned for the class. The documents frequently contain more than we will discuss in class, because they also include portions about which you might want to write a paper. The Assignments tab usually gives a pretty good idea of where the class will focus. The Syllabus is more ambitious. We will not cover everything in it this year, and the dates in the syllabus are only approximate.
