CSc 114 Schedule: Fall, 2008
[^] CSc 114: Introduction to Computer Science
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is the planned schedule for the semester. If there's a need to make changes, I will try to do so as early as possible.

The entries for lectures link to the outlines for the relevant chapters; the lab entries link to the to relevant part of the labs page to access the handout and other materials. It's a good idea to look over the lab handout before coming to lab.

Lectures meet in MCC 105, and labs meet in MCC 209. Come to 209 on days when a lecture and a lab are both scheduled. All exams are given online in MCC 209. Regular exams are scheduled along with a lecture. We'll meet in MCC 105 from 11:50 to 12:25 for the lecture part, and move to MCC 209 for the exam from 12:30 to 1:05.

I don't really like to split the day between lecture and exam, but there's really now way around it with six exams on a Tuesday-Thursday schedule.

Note that the final exam is on a Saturday.
