    Midterm - Tuesday, May 4, 2004

      Outline of Kagan and Related Issues pp. 1-70

        This doesn't constitute a full outline and certainly not a polished handout. These began as notes for my own use and developed, at some points, to notes that I thought might be useful for students. I apologize for the typos and omissions but I wanted to make them available in case you would find them helpful.




Note:  All handouts are in Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) format. If you do not already have the free Adobe Acrobat Reader, click here to get it.
