This calendar describes FIT100 throughout the term. (Not all links are "live" yet, but they will be.) Look here for lecture slides (Lecture column), and Lab materials (Section column). Notice that there are two Monday holidays, and the lab sections are canceled on those days; students whose sectons meet on Mondays must join a Tuesday lab in those two holiday weeks.
