Summary for partial exam - lecture notes and mandatory readings

Document preview thumbnail
Preview 3 out of 18 pages

Summary of all lectures and mandatory readings for the partial exam. Original lecture sheets are inserted when necessary. The importance of the mandatory readings is really emphasized, that is why I choose to not only summarize these readings, but also translate them to Dutch. All important terms however, are also mentioned in the lectures in English.
