Course Calendar     CSE 370   Spring 2003

You can expect a homework assignment every week. Assignments will typically be handed out on Wednesday in class, and due the following Friday at the beginning of class. We may ask you to submit assignments done using the CAD Tools (Active-HDL) electronically. We will give you instructions on how to do this.

The last column indicates the pages of the textbook that are relevant to the lecture material. It is an excellent idea to read over this before it is covered in class. The textbook is also a good source of additional explanations and examples.
