Spring 2024 Course Calendar

Warning

This calendar is tentative and subject to change.

Lectures take place in Ryerson 251 on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 12:30pm from 1:50pm CDT.

Discussion sessions take place in Harper 140 on Thursdays from 3:30pm to 4:50pm CDT.

Additional pre-recorded lectures will also be made available most weeks. When both the live lecture and pre-recorded lecture have the same topic, that means the live lecture will be used to introduce the topic, and additional pre-recorded lectures will be released after the live lecture.

All deadlines are at 8pm (Chicago local time) on the specified date.
