This page contains a complete list of lecture topics for the semester. To obtain a lecture outline for a topic, click on it. Each outline is a Microsoft Word document that you should save to your computer. For success in this course, I highly recommend that you print out the lecture outlines, bring them to class, and take notes on them during lecture.
