Don't take this schedule too literally; we are changing things around this semester and wil adjust the pace and content of the weeks as needed.
Most labs and assignments will be turned in electronically using the cscheckin program written by Dr. Bob Rinker. See the checkin UNIX manual page ("man cscheckin" on wormulon) or as a TA or instructor for more information or assistance.
Information on using SSH to log into the CS department machines is available here.
