SOCI 3113- SO 340 BSS 3-1 MEthods

Dear BSS 3-1:

So far, we need 18 topics and if we devote one topic per meeting without any dispruption, we will finish the topics by March 12, 2010. THis does not include the time we should devote in monitoring your thesis proposals and our mock defense.

If I may suggest, let us choose the most pertinent topics, and leaave the other topics to your own readings. In that case, I may choose nine to eleven topics which then mught change the team compositions. But for now, I will post the entirety of the topics we need to cover.
