Calendar for Comsc 102 - Fall 2009

This is a tentative calendar for the semester. It is subject to change.  You should check this page regularly for the most current version of the schedule and assignments.

 

Reading assignments should at least be skimmed prior to coming to lecture.  You should then read the chapter in depth after lecture and attempt to work all the problems at the end of each section as you are reading.  All readings are from JAEA unless otherwise specified.  Problems associated with each lecture should be done after that lecture and turned in at the start of the next class as they will be discussed at that time.
