Note that there separate sets of assignments for CS 451/651 and CS
431. Make sure you work on the correct asssignments!
Note:
The schedule is created by throwing darts at a calendar. Assignments are set up to be due:
- At least 2 weeks after release. (Often 3).
- At least 1 week after the previous assignment.
- At least 1 week after the last lecture of that module (for data mining, the last applicable lecture).
- Not counting reading week as time to work on assignments (it's supposed to be a break).
Assignments are due at 4PM on the indicated day (which is a Wednesday unless otherwise noted).
Please note that there is a little less time for the last assignment than I'd like, but the last day of classes is the last day of classes. It's a short assignment, please start early!
(TODO: double-check dates to make sure there's no errors)
