Textbook and other readings
Relationship between lectures and textbook
Lectures do not replace readings
Lectures:
- Provide background and context: Why are we talking about this at
all? How does it fit in with everything else?
- Introduce and explain new concepts.
- Priorities: What is important and why. What is mostly of
historical interest.
- Detail on selected topics.
Readings do not replace lectures
Readings:
- Provide a more detailed discussion of a topic.
- More complete discussion of theory.
