SPECIAL NOTES FOR SUMMER 2021:
This will be a 100 percent asynchronous course, with the professor available for live office hours twice each week to answer students’ questions. The course will be largely self-guided. Students will be assigned reading, recorded lectures, and problem sets. The lectures, problem sets, and answers to the problem sets will be posted on Camino. Live office hours will take place by Zoom on Sundays at 4:00 and Wednesdays at noon. (Other times will be available by appointment.) There will be an open-book, essay-format, three-hour final exam. Students’ course grades will be based primarily (if not exclusively) on the final exam.
