A tentative set of papers that we will cover is listed below, though
the list may change based on the interests of the class.
All students are required to read the papers
before they are presented and will be graded based on apparent
understanding of the material in the papers and contributions to class
discussions on the papers. Students will be asked to
explain various aspects of the papers during class as part of the
discussions.
