Prof. Anthony Hornof, Spring 2019
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.
In the chart below,
note that "Ch 1 (1-15, 27-30)" means "Chapter 1, pages 1 through 15, and pages 27 through 30". In addition to the pages listed, you should always read the short summary at the end of each chapter.
