Conduct of the Course

The course will be highly interactive, with much of the student's grade determined by their preparedness and contribution to discussions. Some weeks the discussion will start with a lecture, other weeks student presentations will lead-off. In particular, students will read a book (of their choice, subject to approval) and critically present the ideas to the rest of the class. There will be two assignments to help students better understand the concepts discussed.
