Past Courses
Edwin McCann, USC
From Fall 1997 on, I will keep course materials--syllabus, paper topics,
exams--available through this page, for a period of two years after the course is
taught. (This is for the convenience of students who may have taken incompletes.)
For now, though, I just list the courses I've taught in the past. If you would
like to have copies of syllabi, etc. from any of the courses below, just send me a
note (mccann@bcf.usc.edu) and I'll send them if I have them.
