The schedule below represents my current best estimate concerning due dates (and everything else). I am providing this information to give you a general idea of the pace and timing of the class. This schedule will certainly change as the semester progresses.

Unless otherwise noted, all readings are from

• Hands-On Machine Learning with Scikit-Learn, Keras, and TensorFlow 3rd Edition, Aurélien Géron, 2022.

Readings followed by (S) are supplemental. You may find them helpful.
