Calendar of Lectures (see syllabus for assignments). These slides
and term lists are provided as a study aid. You may wish to print out
lists and bring them to the lectures so you can note the terms as I discuss
them. I make no guarantee that all test items will be taken from this
list, but it is designed to focus on important people, places, periods
and concepts that I expect you to know.
