Overview
This is the authoritative calendar for content covered in class, and for content you should expect to see covered as we continue through the course.
For each month, the Deliverables sections should remain relatively constant — though upcoming events will keep our schedule interesting — I will make announcements on the Course Moodle if they change. I will update the Lectures & Activities sections as we go, so they are in one place for easy review.
You can compare this calendar with the calendar from the Course Outline to see where this course has deviated from the original outline.
