Hi,

Here's my take on a similar course, still very much work in progress:
http://polaris.gseis.ucla.edu/blanchette/298c/syllabus.pdf

It's important to note that I have only 10 weeks, to Richard's 15, to  
inflict a similar amount of damage. As well, this is my first stab at  
it, I am sure much in the syllabus will change after the first  
iteration of the course, to be taught next Spring.

Hope this helps,
Jean-François
