Click on a week to see the schedule of activities for that period.
For any activity marked DELIVERABLE, CRITIQUE,
or ENGRC (which includes PLAYTEST),
attendance is mandatory and will count towards your participation grade. For other
days, attendance is appreciated, but not required. Days marked as WORKDAY are open
office hours giving you free time to work on your project.
The location of a class depends upon the day of the week. Classes held MWF will meet
in CIS 142 while classes held TuTh (during the discussion section) will be held
in the Uris Fiske Classroom. If you are in doubt as to the location of an activity,
