Spring 2008 Course Schedule - 16-Week Semester

The purpose of this schedule is to help you pace yourself during the semester. I will be adding due dates for the remaining programs and for exams 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.
