Schedule

by Mike Gleicher on August 26, 2019


There are two class meetings a week, generally Monday and Wednesday (except for the first week). Generally, one class period is a lecture, the other is an In-Class Exercise (ICE). The third class period is either not used, or is an optional (OPT) workshop.

The specific topics and class content is subject to change. However, we will try not to add required class meetings.

Generally, each week there is a reading (roughly due Monday), an online discussion (first posting due Tuesday), a seek and find (due Friday), and a Quiz (due Friday).In most weeks, there are Design Challenge phases due (Wednesdays).
