The role of the required readings with respect to the midterm

• Reading and understanding the content in these extra materials may allow you to better understand the lecture material and thus provide 'richer' answers.  In addition there may be a written question and/or multiple choice that asks you specifically about material from one of the papers which wasn't directly covered in lecture.

Review

• I will do a review during the class on Wednesday, October 25 by covering some sample exam questions.
