BCS 221: Lecture Schedule
Although I do intend to maintain this ordering of topics we may get behind OR AHEAD OF schedule as the semester commences. Alterations to this schedule and any modifications to reading assignments will be announced in lectures. The column "chapter" lists the primary reading for the week; numbers in this column refer to chapters in the Plack textbook. The column "additional" lists required readings other than the text.
Only students who are enrolled in the course may access the readings online. You must be logged
into Blackboard to download the course readings.
