Schedule and Lectures

This outline is tentative and subject to change.

Videos from the in-person lectures will appear on this mediaspace channel and will also be linked into the schedule below. You may need to be on the university network (either for real or on the VPN) in order to access the lecture capture videos.

Optional supplementary readings are on a separate page.

Lectures in red are prerecorded. Readings not covered in lecture are also in red. Prerecorded lectures and/or reading-only content will be used to make room for the conflict/makeup quizzes, for reviews of content from prerequisite courses, and to cover lectures that can't be held in person for other reasons (e.g. sick instructor, malfunctioning classroom A/V).
