This page provides a schedule for the semester. It gives you a good idea what to expect the lectures to cover, what readings you are expected to do, and when the exams are scheduled. Please see the assignments page for a list of when your assignments are due.
Please note that this schedule WILL change during the semester. I adjust the coverage of material to meet the needs and desires of the class, rather than force the class to meet an arbitrary schedule decided before the semester even begins. Therefore, I make adjustments to this schedule as the semester proceeds. I may change due dates or the order of topics covered, or I may add additional readings. I will, whenever possible, make changes at least one week in advance of the affected date. Therefore you should frequently check the What’s New page to see what may have changed.
Please note that the readings are drawn from the textbooks and online resources which are most easily reached by following the links provided in the schedule. Since links are not available from a printed page, you’ll need to access this page frequently throughout the semester. Check the Web 101 supplementary web site for each chapter.
Because this schedule is subject to change, it really doesn’t make much sense to print this schedule out. Instead, you should get into the habit of checking the online version on a regular basis.
