There is no class on Tue Sep 29 (Wellness Day), Mon Oct 19 and Tue Oct 20 (Fall Break), or Thu Nov 26 (Thanksgiving).
Dates are fixed; assignment placement can shift. The examination dates (Thu Oct 1, Thu Nov 5) and the final are fixed.
Everything is due at 7:00 am Eastern on the morning of the meeting it is listed against, and that is the same for both sections. So work shown under Due on a Tuesday is due at 7:00 am that Tuesday.
Reading the last three columns. Assigned is the meeting at which the work is handed out, Due the meeting it is due before, and Assessed the meeting carrying its short in-class assessment. Homework is due no fewer than five days after it is assigned; a project is assigned at least one meeting, and never fewer than seven days, before it is due.
A project is discussed at the meeting its work is due before, while the work is fresh and before it is assessed at a later meeting. Homework is not: it is due the morning of the meeting that assesses it.
Bold marks an assessment, and only an assessment: the three examinations, and the work being assessed in class that day. Those are the entries that carry grade weight, so they are the ones worth finding at a glance. A horizontal rule marks where the course moves from one topic to the next.
Meeting notes
Marked † in the table above.
Meeting 2. Two things are assigned: the model statement and script exercise that closes Lecture 1.2, and the review activity, in its first use. The install charge is due to Moodle, not through GitHub, because repositories are not provisioned until the roster is known.
Meeting 3. Three things are due: the model statement and script, the review of Lecture 1.3, and with them the first submission through your work repository rather than through Moodle.
Meeting 18. Project 3 is due here, moved from Meeting 17 (Thu Oct 15) on Wed Oct 14. Tue Oct 20 is Fall Break, so this is the next meeting after Thu Oct 15, and the project is discussed here, the morning it is due.
Meeting 19. Project 3 is assessed here, moved from Meeting 18 (Thu Oct 22) on Wed Oct 14.
