Assignments
All assignments will be posted from the schedule page, which you should check regularly for updates. Click on the recitation number or lecture number to see the assignment for that class meeting. If an assignment refers to a paper number, it typically is the number of the paper in the reading list. For your convenience, I have posted electronic versions of most papers. If an assignment requires you to hand in something, you are expected to hand it in at the beginning of the class meeting.News

June 4, 2004 Assignment for Lecture 11 will be posted by the end of today. On the evaluation forms, many students asked that the assignments clearly identify what they should read and what they can skim. Because this is a graduate course, it is generally expected that you can figure this sort of thing out for yourself. However, your teacher will attempt to clearly indicate which materials are important. Specifically, be sure to read all of Carl Ellison's articles that were assigned for L10, and be sure to read RFC 2693. These items will be on the quiz.

May 11th, 2004: Some students asked me about their grades on their homework #1 that was handed back today, so I wanted to clarify the grading policy.
- #1 - rewrites. You are allowed to two rewrites this semester on a problem set to earn a higher grade.
- #2 - Curve. This class is graded on a curve. The grades you receive on the homeworks factor in to your final grade.
- #3 - Quiz #1. I don't have a sample quiz for you to review, as this is the first semester that this course is offered. The actual format of the quiz will be discussed in class prior to the exam.
