Lectures:

The course covered several current directions of research in Complexity Theory. One glaring omission, intentionally, is the work related to pseudorandomness and derandomization. The right way to learn about these topics is to attend the Harvard course on Pseudorandomness, being taught by Salil Vadhan.
