CMPS 111, Fall 2003
Class Schedule
This is an overall schedule for CMPS 111, Fall 2003. This page lists all assignments, due dates, and reading material by date, and also includes links to the slides for each chapter of the text.
The slides from class are organized by the date on which they were discussed in class. The slides are in PDF format (2 slides per page), and can be read with Acrobat Reader, a free program that's available for Macintosh, Windows, and various versions of Unix. You may want to print two "pages" on each sheet of paper (resulting in 4 slides per sheet) to save paper. Slides are organized by chapter, so there may not be slides for every lecture. If a lecture doesn't have slides associated with it, assume that we will cover slides from an earlier lecture. Also, not every chapter will have slides because we won't be covering every chapter in the text.
This is a tentative schedule, and will be adjusted periodically to reflect how far we've gotten in class. This schedule is subject to minor changes through the quarter. Assignment dates and due dates may be modified depending on the pace of the class.
