Finally, a little background: I last served as a teaching assistant for this course in 2004, under David Golumbia.
Although things looked a lot different back in those days, it might be worth your while to look through his syllabus and my lab homepage from that version of the course.
If you're a true antiquarian, you can also peruse the course homepages from 2003 and 2005. This course was also taught in 2000, 2001 and 2002, but information relating to those versions is no longer accessible online. To which I ask, why not?
