Courses – Jack Lynch

Jack Lynch’s Course Materials

I’ve been teaching at the university level since autumn 1994, when I was a graduate student at the University of Pennsylvania. In that first semester our department was using Gopher, rather than the full-fledged World Wide Web, so the materials for that course are now not easily found. For the rest, syllabi, readings, and other materials are preserved here for posterity:
