      2008-05-21 Wed May 21 19:05 Next Course starts in September 2008

      I will be teaching the Senior Seminar next Fall. I will be revizing this blog and the course design in the second half of September. I don't expect many differences: fewer prizes perhaps, and fewer examinations. But I'll be reccommending the same book. ANd sticking with a similar structure: all students will be expected to select a topic to study and prepare a formal report and presentation on what they have discovered in the literature of the topic.

      I'll leave this blog and the old materials here so you can get an idea of what the course is like.
