You can begin reading the first chapters. [Chapter 1 is a quick review.] I have not separated them yet for those familiar with how my notes get posted. Additional material will be posted by the time you need it. Also, I will eventually post homework assignments and some ideas for a project based assignment.

Your first assignment will be to write before classes begin to update me on your experiences during the break or to introduce yourself to me if you haven’t already.
