== Note About This Syllabus ==

Although the core expectations for this class are fixed, the details of readings and assignments will shift based on how the class goes. As a result, there are three important things to keep in mind:

# Although details on this syllabus will change, I will not change readings or assignments less than five days before they are due. If you plan to read more than five days ahead, contact me first.
# Check your email. Because this a wiki, you will be able to track every change by clicking the ''history'' button on this page. I will also summarize these changes in a announcements that will be sent via Brightspace email.

== Class Sessions ==

On Tuesdays, we will typically hear a lecture from a Purdue professor who is an expert in the topic of that week. Our guest speakers will provide readings and will lead a lecture + discussion about the topic.

On Thursdays, we will review an additional set of readings on the same topic, focused on how the topic relates to doing social scientific research. Readings will be a mix of conceptual and empirical papers and articles, and each week one or two students from the class will prepare and circulate discussion questions, and then lead the in-class discussion.

== Office hours and email ==

* I will hold office hours from 2–4 on Tuesdays and by appointment.
* I am also available by email. You can reach me at [mailto:jdfoote@purdue.edu jdfoote@purdue.edu]. I try hard to maintain a boundary between work and home and I typically respond only on weekdays during business hours (~9-5) but during the week I will generally respond within 24 hours.
