Next program: 2011
Readings
There are several textbooks as required readings for the courses. These readings will be supplemented in class with articles. Develop an intense familiarity with the issues covered in the readings early on in the program so that you can better understand the lectures and ask intelligent questions. All of the readings are required and are designed to supplement lectures and provide background information. These readings should be incorporated into your exam essay questions, but should not be the sole basis for your answers to these questions.
