Note that initially posted versions of slides are from the previous semester. Slides may be revamped right up to (and even after) the class where they are used; updated versions will be posted set by set after our class discussions.
Links to articles describing case studies are included below in the assigned reading in square brackets. Read the assigned article(s) before class, and come prepared to discuss the article. (You are encouraged to bring a printed or electronic copy to class.) Note that links to some articles will work only from machines on campus, due to licensing restrictions. Read the articles carefully; some questions on exams will come from this material.
