WORK SCHEDULE FOR CS 3750 -- Fall 2015
You will find weekly reading assignments here that set a pace that will keep
you on track to complete all the required reading by the end of the semester.
The pace will most likely move the readings ahead of the mainstream of
what I am covering in lecture.
In class we will devote some time to discussion of what you are currently
reading, but we may have to spend time on other things too. You should check
here each week to see what will be covered in the lecture material, and you
should review that material to prepare for the lecture.
I will synchronize homework assignments with lecture and quizzes. In class or
office hours, feel free to ask questions related to the current homework.
Before you read a chapter in the book, first read the assigned homework
problems for that chapter. As you read the chapter, gather the maximal amount
of relevant information to use in your answers to the problems.
