Timeline

What should be happening and when.

This is a conservative schedule. Things might go a bit more quickly or they might well go more slowly.

Note that the assignments are due about every two weeks starting the fifth week of class. Assignments are always due by 5PM on Friday.

You should start the assignments as soon as possible as it is likely that it will take more than two weeks to finish each.

The dates given in the second column are for the Monday of the week.
