Summer 2021 — UC Irvine — Information & Computer Science — ICS 139W — David G. Kay

Master Schedule for ICS 139W 

This list will contain all the assignments and other events for the whole term. Check back here often to see that you're still on track.   

As you know, a five-week summer session class carries the same units and grade points and satisfies all the same requirements as the same class that runs over 10 weeks. That means that everything happens at twice the speed and something is due nearly every day. ICS 139W has been taught very successfully in a five-week session for many years; there was even an online version years before everything had to go on line.  Everybody can do what has to be done; just keep an eye on this space.
