Lectures
The first lecture will use the full 3 hours.
Each subsequent lecture will follow a split style in which the first part
of the lecture is a traditional lecture, and the second part is a
seminar style (e.g. participatory). In order to participate, students will
complete readings, and review the lecture content from the week before,
and prepare thoughts, analysis, response, etc., to present in the subsequent
week's class.
