Schedule Overview

Jump to: Syllabus. Schedule. Oncourse (new window).

Notice that homework is assigned on Tuesdays, and is due the following Tuesday, when another assignment is given (except on exam weeks and Thanksgiving break). This schedule is designed so that the Thursday/Friday lab sessions can be partially devoted to discussions of the current week's homework.

Homework assignments will be edited and adjusted until the last minute. Therefore, do not print (or do) any homework assignment until after the lecture of the day it is officially assigned!
