LBSC 671 - Creating Information Infrastructures
Fall 2013 - Section 0101
Schedule

For each week this schedule shows the top-level topics that we plan to cover. The Text Chapter indicates which chapter(s) in which book (TJ for Taylor and Joudrey; K for Kernighan) should be read before class. The Additional Readings link to the reading list describes the additional readings that should be read before each class. The assignment titles are links to the assignment that is due at the beginning of that class. The slides link will take you to the Powerpoint slides and other materials that I plan to use in class that week (these will be available by 5 AM on class days), and the video links will take you to the Panopto recording of that class (which will be posted after class, when the Panopto recording works).
