This is a tentative schedule for the quarter, definitely subject to change. Specifics that are guaranteed to change are:

The other readings will be added for specific dates (most in the first half of the quarter).
The topics of the lectures will be bound more carefully.
You will have other project deadlines; examples might include "50% code complete" or "initial integration test". Note: these are deadlines set by each group in collaboration with the instructors (so they will never appear on the full class schedule).
A project due date will be added, probably early in the week of December 13, 1999.

Italics represent reading that must be done by that specified date. Bold information represents project material due on a given day as well as the five quiz dates. (Remember, for quizzes, they are only about 10-20 minutes long, so other material will be covered on those days.)
