The earliest course I was involved with was done by Saul Rosen at Purdue somewhere around 1990. He taught it as an undergrad topics course, but allowed me to audit even though I was a grad student. If I do some digging I might be able to find some of the notes, but I don't think I have a syllabus per se. He used Michael Williams book as the primary text for the course, but most of the lectures were driven more by his own perspective.

Does anyone have details on when and where these kinds of courses were first offered? Are there any that are particularly well-known for whatever reason? If you have a syllabus from a particular course, especially before 2005, I would greatly appreciate a copy.
