What should I be doing each week?

The course calendar outlines this. You should print this and use it to guide your work all semester.

The deadlines for finishing the material each week are Friday at 5 p.m. (I will know if you have finished your software work by then, but, of course, I won't know if you have finished your paper work by then.)

If you have not finished your software work by Friday at 5 p.m., that may be perfectly OK. Read about the requirements for weekly participation on the Other Required Activities page. Be sure to follow those requirements every week, and you can stay in good standing in the course even if you can't always complete the week's software work by 5 p.m. every Friday.

When are the deadlines for the tests, paper assignments, and software lessons?

The deadlines for the tests and all material related to that test are available on the page describing the tests.
