Read the text and bibliography. Only general reading assignments will be given. The tests will be take home. This means that I expect you to do some research in order to answer the questions.
The class will mostly cover material in the same order as the text book, there may be exceptions however. It is the student's responsibility to maintain an awareness of the material in the text that is currently being covered. Ask the instructor if you are unsure of the material currently being covered.
The syllabus may be changed during the semester if necesary: changes will be announced in class; they might also show up on the instructor's website.
