Odysseys
Fall
2009
The assignments are indicated here
on a weekly basis. To take full
advantage of the Monday lecture (to
understand it and get the most out
of it), have the whole selection
read for the lecture. Then you can
go back and review sections for the
breakout sessions. That will allow
you to understand and analyze the
material so that you will be better
prepared for the papers and weekly
quizzes.
