The Schedule

Below you will find a tentative schedule of lectures, assignments, quizzes, and exams for this semester.

Note that we will not always be going in order with the textbook as I have determined better ways to present the course material.

These are all subject to change as the course evolves and I receive feedback from you all regarding pacing and concepts upon which you would like me to expand.
