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 On Jan 17, 2010, at 4:35 PM, B.G.
