CSC 450 versus CSC 750

The classes meet together, but their requirements and grading are different.

CSC 750 is 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). CSC 450 is best suited to CSC undergrads who have a high GPA (>= 3.5) and who have done well in a 300-level or 400-level course with me or with a colleague.

• 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 may be a significant latency in the posting of these notes, so don't count on having them before any deadline or exam.
