The textbooks and the weekly
syllabus posted here are those in use for
the Spring Semester. Both are likely to be greatly revised for the Fall
2011 semester and somewhat revised for Summer I 2011. Nevertheless, the
general structure of the course, and the practices, will be close
enough that you can judge from this what sort of thing to expect, even
if the details will change.
Consequently it would be a very good idea not to purchase the books
listed here on the expectation that they will also be used in the Fall
semester.
Decisions about books for the course in the Fall will be available here
by August
15, which gives students a month lead time for acquiring them online.
In general that works better – and is a bit less expensive
– than waiting until 'book rush' at the College Bookstore.
