CSE 142  Winter 2002

Course Calendar 

This is the schedule of lectures and section topics, related readings, and homework and exam dates.  Lecture topics will be linked to the lecture slides as they become available (ideally, we'll make them available at least the evening before each lecture so you can take an advance look).  The slides may be updated after a lecture is given to fix any errors encountered.  Slides of previous quarters are available; they will often be similar.

You can expect a homework assignment every week.  Homework will normally be due electronically over the web Sunday nights at 11:00 pm., although sometimes you will hand in written assignments in class on Mondays.  Instructions for submitting homework will be provided on each assignment.  Homeworks will be a combination of written problems, short programming exercises, and longer programming assignments.  Some of the later assignments may form parts of a larger project.

The last column indicates the chapters/sections of the textbook that are relevant to the lecture material. The textbook is a good source of additional explanations and examples.
