CSE306 -- Schedule

This course schedule is not cast in stone. It is often hard to estimate how long each particular topic will take, as it depends on many factors. Therefore, the dates below are approximate. I might also make various other adjustments as we go.

However, if there will be changes in the date for the midterm exam, I will make the announcement at least one week in advance. Always, watch the announcements for the latest.

Please note: all chapter references are to the Stallings' textbook.
