Prof. Anthony Hornof, Spring 2021
The schedule is designed so that the group projects, the reading assignments (chapter sections 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. Previous Schedules: None yet
In addition to the sections listed below, you should always read the start of the chapter, and the short summary at the end of each chapter.
