COMP8320: Lecture, Laboratory and Assignment Schedule, 2011

The following course schedule should be regarded as tentative (for more than 1 week into the future). It is subject to (hopefully small) changes throughout the semester.

  • There will be one two-hour lecture slot per week, but we will not always use all slots. The slot is Monday 10-12. There will be a total of 20 hours of formal lectures.
  • There will be 7 one-hour tutorial and 8 one-hour laboratory sessions.
  • Unless specified otherwise, the tutorial/laboratories will be based on the same week's lecture topic, with the tutorial component based on readings. The time slot is Wednesday 12-2.
