Study Notes and Supplementary Reading Material

These notes are drafted from my notes used to present the information and lead the discussions. They include some additional interactive links to help you understand some of the topics mentioned but not discussed at length in the notes, the text, or in class. The supplementary reading material will add to your understanding and appreciation of some of the texts we are reading.

NOTE: Not all class discussions nor reading assignments will have study notes posted here. This page is intended to help you understand what goes on in class, not take the place of it.
