Courses: These syllabi are current for the Fall 2010 semester, and are included here for the benefit of students who have misplaced their copies, or for others who may be curious. The Spring 2011 semester courses are still somewhat tentative. Expect incremental changes, at minimum. Still, these syllabi should be of assistance to those considering registering for one of my courses.
