Calendar
This calendar is tentative and subject to change. Please check this page regularly for updates.
Unless explicitly marked, all class periods will be held in King Hall 236. Unless noted otherwise, all readings are from the class textbooks (CS:APP or CPL), all lectures will be posted on YouTube (mostly recorded in Fall 2020), and all quizzes, labs, and module tests will be submitted on Canvas. Programming project descriptions will be posted on the assignments page; the project starter files will be distributed and the final submissions will be collected on the stu student server.
