While I try very hard to keep exam dates, all dates (except for the Final
Exam which is fixed by the University) are subject to change.
This is a tentative schedule of lectures and readings, and is likely to
change as we progress through the semester. I will try and keep exam dates
fixed (and will provide adequate notice of changes in exam dates), but all else
is subject to change. The date and time of the final exam is
set by the University and is not subject to change.
