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 EnGeo 2209. 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 starring Dr. Lam), 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.
Slide links may be inactive until shortly before class on the day of the lab. If they are still inaccessible by 7pm the evening after the lab, please feel free to send me a reminder via email to post them.
