SYLLABUS

ANNOUNCEMENTS

*     Once course registration has settled (i.e. people have dropped, waitlist has cleared etc.), I will communicate important announcements by email.  However, your ability to receive emails should not be viewed as an alternative to coming to class.  I will use your email address that the university provides me.  Please make sure that you regularly check this email address.

 

*     By department policy, I am not allowed to add anyone to the course beyond room capacity or supercede university waitlist policies.  The waitlist will have to clear according to the priority ordering assigned by the university.

 

*     Average grades for this course in previous semesters has been C+/B-. Quantitative and analytical reasoning and attending lectures regularly are key to doing well in this course. The material I present in class is not easily accessed in any textbook.  For example, I will sometimes present material based on my own experience doing research in developing countries. It will be very difficult for you to do well in exams if you miss lectures.
