CSc 114A Schedule
Mississippi College
Computer Science
Dr. Bennet

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 (will) link to the to lab instructions and 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 lab or exam is scheduled. All exams are given online there.
