This is an overall schedule for CMSC 421, Section 0101. Lists of assignments and due dates are also available on the Class News & Notes page, and information on reading material is available from the syllabus. However, this chart pulls everything together, and also includes links to all of the slides used in class. 1-up slides have one slide per page, and 2-up slides have two slides per page to save paper.
The slides from class are organized by the date on which they were discussed in class. The slides are in PDF format, and can be read with Acrobat Reader, a free program that's available for Macintosh, Windows, and various versions of Unix.
IMPORTANT NOTE: slidesare only accessible to machines in the umbc.edu domain. If you're a UMBC student, please access these slides through your UMBC account. If you're not a UMBC student and would like access to these slides, please contact elm@csee.umbc.edu.
If there are no slides listed for a lecture, it's probably because the lecture covers slides from a previous class. The slides are organized by chapter, and a chapter is often covered in more than one class.
This is a tentative schedule, and will be adjusted periodically to reflect how far we've gotten in class. Assignment dates are the dates on which the homework or project was assigned, not its due date (which will be listed on the assignment itself). This schedule is subject to minor changes through the semester. Assignment dates and due dates may be pushed back if material hasn't been covered in time.
