CPS 108: Syllabus

Spring 1999


Except for the first class, the reading for a class should be done before class in order to get the most out of each class. Also, quizzes for class will be based on previously covered material and on material in assigned reading.

Test dates are unlikely to change. The topics and assigned reading will be adjusted during the semester.
