Changes in Course Schedule, Presentation Schedule, etc.

Because we were forced to miss a class last week, we have been behind one day on the course schedule.  I have found us a way to fix that schedule through pushing back all meetings and cutting out the one extra course meeting scheduled on Fanon and Mamdani (hitherto scheduled for May 7th).  Please consult the revised syllabus, either on this blog or Google Drive, to be clear on when readings are due.

Essay assignments have not changed between versions of the syllabus.

I was also forced to change the dates of all of the presentations so that they would correspond to the revise course schedule. I decided to make changes assuming individuals were concerned with topics, rather than dates.  Therefore, the dates that some of you requested may have changed.  Please consult the revised presentation schedule, either on this blog or Google Drive, to be clear when your presentation is due.

If you would like to make a change, please see me immediately, in consideration of the spaces remaining.  I would also encourage individuals to approach other students to see if they might be interested in switching dates, if necessary.  I'm sorry for this inconvenience, which I would genuinely preferred to have avoided.

Last thing: you'll find that the PDF files of Smith's Inquiry into the Wealth of Nations, which is located on Google Drive, are quite large and may cause problems.  I would recommend reading the Kindle version, which is free.  If you consult the Amazon list on this blog, you will find a direct link.
