Readings in the Textbook

Note that for each two week bloc during the semester the readings are listed in the first week. You should read them during the course of the two weeks, but are advised to read as much as possible during the first part of the first week. Putting off the readings until the end of the second week will not help you at all. You will also note that some of the readings are listed twice. The second time around, simply review what you read the previous time.
