Course Schedule

The following is the planned schedule for the course. Assignments and due dates are subject to change, so be sure to attend class so you don't miss any important announcements.

Here is a short guide on how to get help when you're stuck.

Class Meetings

Class meetings will typically follow this schedule:

Mondays

We'll start with a question and answer session, then discuss the topic of the week.

Wednesday

We'll start with a question and answer session, then we'll have a standup meeting where each student will have exactly three minutes to answer the following questions:

1. What you have accomplished on your project since the last meeting?
2. What you plan to work on between now and the next meeting?
3. What obstacles are you running into that are preventing you from accomplishing your plan?

After the standup meetings, students may work on their projects, and are encouraged to work together to help one another resolve obstacles they've encountered.

Staying on Track

In project-based classes, especially those that are self-paced, it can be easy to get off track. To help you avoid putting everything off until the end, the following schedule shows an ideal pace for a student to follow, assuming they are trying to earn an A.
