Deliverables

A list of deliverables and dates is below. Some details are subject to change as the quarter progresses.

Assignments vary between individual and group assignments, as noted. For group assignments, it is sufficient for one group member to submit via Canvas; please note the names and UW Net IDs of all group members in your submission.

Please submit your files on Canvas unless otherwise specified.

All deliverables are due at midnight PST before class as indicated in our schedule.
