CSC 450 versus CSC 750

Both classes meet TH 0835-0950AM in EGRC 313

This course is primarily a graduate-level course and emphasizes concepts, theories, and techniques for Web services at a high level. However, parts of the course are appropriate for advanced undergrads with a strong academic record. For this reason, I am offering it concurrently as CSC 450. CSC 450 students will be graded somewhat more leniently than CSC 750 students and in a grading scheme that emphasizes project work more (see the course description). However, enrollment in CSC 450 is limited to CSC undergrads who have a high GPA (>= 3.5) and who have done well in a course with me or with a colleague.

• Class video for downloading or streaming
• Photocopies of slides from class -- with my handwritten annotations here
• It is better to take notes yourself than to read photocopies, but some people like to have the photocopies handy, which is why the EOL Program makes them available.
• There will be a significant latency in the posting of these notes, so don't count on having them before any deadline or exam.

News, Updates, and Responses to Questions

• EOL students get NO EXTRA time for any deadlines or exams. The schedule is designed so that homeworks are due on Tuesdays, exercise sessions are held on Thursdays, and exams are held on Tuesdays (except the final). The projects don't have a detailed dependence on the previous lectures. For the homeworks and exams, there may be a dependence, but you should be able to access the previous week's lecture in the intervening four days.
• EOL students can submit their homework via the Wolfware submit utility: scanned in handwritten sheets are acceptable.
