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 348. Unless noted otherwise, all readings are from the class textbook. Unless noted otherwise, all quizzes will be on Canvas, and all homeworks (HWs) and programming assignments (PAs) will be posted on the assignments page.

Slide links may be inactive until shortly after class. If they are still inaccessible by 7pm the evening after the lecture, please feel free to send me a reminder via email to post them.
