Courses
Includes course
descriptions, requirements (readings, examinations and grades), course outline
and reading list, examination and paper topics, and in some cases, outlines of
lectures and examples of examination answers that received a grade of A. I have
included both courses I have taught in the past and some I plan to teach soon.
Note that the reading lists here are meant to provide students with an idea of
the kinds of reading I require and also to give students taking my courses
suggestions for additional readings. Thus they include somewhat more reading
than I usually require.

This paper discusses how I use the web in teaching seminars on classic texts.
