Course Schedule
The table below lists the topics we will discuss each conference
and the materials associated with each topic.
All materials should be read/viewed before
their associated conference meeting.
There will be regular in-class activities that will review and reinforce
the concepts presented in those materials.
Some of these resources will only be accessible from within the
campus network.
Information about the proxy server can be found
here.
The schedule is subject to change:
we may wish to explore
new topics in response to current events or student interest,
or we may wish to revise the pace given the irregular nature
of this semester.
If changes are made, they will be made well in advance,
and any schedule updates will be noted on GLOW.
