Regular attendance and skill in note taking are essential. Here you will find brief
outline notes of class lectures and discussions. These notes may also expand on
some points not covered in class and will also lead to online materials. Use them to supplement your own
notes or to catch up with the class if
you miss a session. Search the appropriate readings listed in the syllabus
to flesh out the outlines. On material and topics you don't understand, raise questions in
class, online in the Caucus Forum, by E-mail or during my
offices hours
PLEASE NOTE: Keep in
mind as you work through these topics that a critical sense is necessary in using any
sources, print or electronic. In using the Internet it is particularly important to note
web authors and sponsoring organizations. You will find Evaluating Web Sources helpful.
