All Labs and homeworks are due one week after they are assigned. Any exceptions must be approved by me (Becky Dorsey, for homeworks) or the TA (Tom Peryam, for labs).
This is almost certainly our plan, but we may need to make minor adjustments during the quarter. Readings not in Boggs will be supplied in class or on the web page.
