Calendar
This is the calendar for fall 2021. You can also see old calendars from fall 2019 and fall 2020.
Notes:
- This class will not meet on Fridays, except initially before teams are formed.
- This calendar is subject to change.
- On tech talk days, there will typically be 3 tech talks of about 25 minutes each.
- Reading assignments are from Debugging; The 9 Indispensable Rules for Finding Even the Most Elusive Software and Hardware Problems by David J. Agans, the required book for the course. I expect you to do the assigned reading by the end of the week in which it’s listed.
