CIS I (601.455/655) Fall 2023 Schedule
Note: This page is subject to change
I am still working out the detailed schedule for 2023. In particular, I am still considering the dates for handing out assignments and when they are due.
Also, I have currently left some place-holders for guest lectures. I may need to juggle these a bit, depending on when people are available.

Optional Programming Assignment #5 (Date TBD)
There will be no written final exam for CIS I. Instead, there is an optional programming assignment that can be used to improve a student's grade.
The due date is still TBD and will depend on the final exam schedule and how long we expect that the assignment will take to grade. In some years past we have made the due date coincide with the nominal final exam date for CIS I. However, if the exam date is too close to the end of the exam period, then there will not be enough time to grade the assignment and compute course grades.
Consequently, we may set an earlier due date for Programming Assignment #5. If this due date conflicts with another final exam on the same date, then contact the TA. We will give an extension until the first day on which you do not have an exam, but no further. We have very limited flexibility for this, since the assignments can require considerable time to grade.
