Prof. Anthony Hornof, Fall 2010
The schedule is designed so that the group projects, the reading assignments (chapters from vanVliet, 2008), and the in-class lectures and discussions should all complement each other and provide a synergistic learning experience. This schedule may evolve during the term to reflect opportunities that arise for a customized learning experience.
