Spring 2013 Course Schedule - 16-Week Semester

The purpose of this schedule is to help you pace yourself during the semester. Be sure to review my Late Policy for programming assignments and exams in the course syllabus. Absolute deadlines are also listed in this schedule.

I will be adding the due date for the remaining programs during the next few weeks. I reserve the right to correct any errors in this schedule. Any changes will be noted on the course home page.
