Recommended weekly schedule for printing out notes.
Print out the notes as indicated for each week of the term. Some
of the pages for the later weeks of the semester are still "under
construction". If
I revise material, or add new pages, I will highlight that on this list
and on the Blackboard/MyUSF
site. Therefore, it is probably best not to
print out the notes more than a
week before the class:
