Fall Quarter 2002 Additional Readings

In addition to the required books, there are several required readings not found in the books. Most are available in electronic (pdf) form—you can download them here (click on hotlinked articles to download pdfs). A few are available only in hardcopy—these will be handed out in class.

Due to the size of some of these files, you should download on campus, or elsewhere with a fast connection. You'll be waiting a long time with a modem connection.

Readings must be done before the class period for which they are assigned.
