This course is a slightly more advanced continuation of our Introduction to String Theory I taught in Spring 2002. The detailed outline of the course can be found here. (The original preliminary announcement of the planned outline can be found here.)
The list of papers for the reading assignments is here.
In addition, there is a bonus assignment, aimed at the more advanced students in the class who may otherwise find the course too elementary :-)
NEW (December 9): The results of the bonus assignment have now been posted on the web, as hep-th/0212087.
