Working Table of Contents: First Semester 2008-2009

This will be a working Table of Contents of papers we have used so far. I will keep adding to it all through the semester. Remember to throw nothing away. If you notice I've left anything out of this Table of Contents, please let me know, and I'll give you Extra Credit. I will place this over on the upper-left side of this blog page for easy access all through the semester. The items in green are section titles, not papers.
