COMP8320: Lecture, Laboratory and Assignment Schedule, 2009

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 Friday 09-11. There will be a total of 20 hours of formal lectures.
There will be 7 two-hour tutorial/laboratory sessions; there will be meetings for the project groups with their supervisors over weeks 4 to 12, which will play an equivalent role.
Unless specified otherwise, the tutorial/laboratories will be based on the previous week's lecture topic, with the tutorial component based on readings. The time slot will be determined after the enrollments stabilize.
