Introduction to Computer Systems
Schedule
- There are 3 lecture slots per week, but we will not always use all three slots.
- Total of 30 formal lectures.
- The mid-semester exam is yet to be scheduled (most likely to be in a lecture slot in either in week 7 or 8).
- In terms of the lecture content this is just a draft schedule we may move through some topics faster (or slower) which will shift the boarders between topics.
