##**Syllabus, schedule, notes**
###Below, you'll find links to the lecture and discussion notes.
###The notes are in the form of browser-based slides [not PDF or ppt], but you can create PDFs out of them by 'printing to PDF' using Chrome [you might need to install a PDF driver], in 'landscape' [not 'portrait'] orientation.
###Speaking of discussions - we'll have lecture from 5-7:30, and discussions from 7:40-8:20. During discussion time, YOU [collectively speaking] need to be speaking more than me :) I'll bring up questions, topics etc. for us to talk about. We'll try to cover new ground during this time, and not use it as a chance to go over all the existing slides; the best use of the discussion slot is when we can talk about 'peripheral', and additional items, compared to lecture notes.
