The coursepack for this course will closely follow certain in-class lectures. In a sense, the coursepack is intended to free the student from the burden of taking copious notes during certain class sessions; the instructor would prefer to focus more on the content of the lecture material. Many students in the course will use the Coursepack as their primary text (a few may use the Coursepack as their only set of readings, though this is not recommended for all students).
