Today, the first day of the class, will be a pretty typical 'first day of class'. We'll cover the course syllabus, then take a brief tour of the course website so you'll know where to find your project, reading, and homework assignment information. If time remains, the rest of the class will be getting into it with the introductory stuff. |
