Preliminary course redesign notes are available. Your comments are welcome. We started the class with a survey of students' skills to fine-tune the course.
The standard contact hour is 2-5pm Friday. However, we won't meet every Friday. There will be a notice here if we hold a lecture. Otherwise, assignments will be handed out online (from here).
Apart from lectures and teach-yourself sessions, there will be assignments and a project. Each assignment will have ten points; there will be six assignments. The project will be worth thirty points. We expect the project to take at most three weeks of lab. work. Ten points will be set apart for viva.
The project will be done in groups of 2 to 3. The assignments are to be done individually. You can cooperate on assignments, but be sure to mention (in your code or report) who you worked with. This won't in itself reduce credit. Assignments will be handed out on Fridays. They are due the following Friday. The projects will be handed out as soon as possible. They are due two weeks before finals. Feel free to suggest projects.
