 * Apart from topics/titles of students' projects, this course wikipage contains nothing more than links to the syllabus website for the current year (2008) and some of the links on the syllabus.
 * The syllabus links back to the cct wikispace at various points, but it is simplest to use the [|the table of contents] for the syllabus and **key online materials** rather than try to jump directly to those wikipages.
 * Please alert instructor if you detect a glitch in any links to the course websites or wikipages.

[|2008 syllabus website]

The [|whole compilation of materials for the course] can be printed out and organized with dividers in a binder. Wait till after 1 Sept. for a final version and to see if the class will arrange to get copies printed for everyone.

Students who prefer to access course materials online should create a bookmark to [|the table of contents] for the syllabus and **key online materials**, but should still have ready access to a hardcopy of certain items, as described in the [|syllabus].
