This is a preliminary day-by-day schedule for our class. The instructor will update the schedule on a weekly basis. All readings will be available on the T-square site for the CS 7610 class.

The reading in italics for any topic is the primary article for that topic. We expect that all students will read the primary article. The quiz on any topic will pertain only to the primary reading.

We expect the presenter on any topic to also read the supplementary readings on that topic.
