CS4495 –Spring 2015 OMS
Course Syllabus (updated 1/6/15)

 

The syllabus below is based upon a normal semester calendar.  The units on the Udacity OMS version follow exactly though the notion of weeks is of course somewhat arbitrary.  But this does give you a sense of the pace a normal class would have.

 

The calendar/syallbus for the class taught in Fall 2014 is here.  This has the slides from the lectures given in class.
