Description

CS112 Schedule - Fall 2020 (All Sections) This tentative schedule contains all the readings, intended lecture topic pace, labs, programming assignments and dates as of the start of the semester. We may drift ahead or behind the planned timing (especially if the weather or the pandemic causes any cancellations), so take it as an estimate and always overridden by announcements.

General Schedule: Every week will have a programming assignment due on Sundays which you must do independently (see honor code statement in syllabus) Every lab (except week 1) will have a programming task that must be done in groups of two during your assigned lab session. Readings will be due on Fridays.

Reading Assignments Schedule: ZY readings refer to our online Zyante textbook. Make sure you're logged in to get credit for reading completion! Zyante readings are due by the end of Friday; example: reading of ZY 3&4 due by end of day, Friday, Jan. 31st. Recommended: complete the readings before class; the lectures and labs will help you solidify the materials far better than if you are reading them after the fact. LANG readings refer to the Python Language Reference (online, free) LIB readings refer to the Python Standard Library (online, free) Slides and announcements will be posted on Piazza.
