Assignment schedule for the entire semester

In this schedule page, you will find the list of assignments you will have to complete this semester:


  1. L#: These are the PrairieLearn Pre-Lecture Assignments including the pre-recorded lectures and short questions testing concepts introduced in the videos. These PL assessments will also include links to lecture notes, slides and annotations from the lectures. You will have pre-lecture assignments opening every Tuesday and Thursday. You are encouraged to complete them on the date they appear on the course schedule. However, you can complete both of them for 100% credit by the following Tuesday at 12pm CT. You can find all the due dates directly in PrairieLearn.

  2. GA#: These are the PrairieLearn Group Activities to be completed on Tuesdays either during lecture time or at another selected time. Make sure to complete the open PrairieLearn Pre-Lecture Assignments before you meet with your group. You can find a lot more information about the group activities on the Group Activities page.

  3. HW#: These are the PrairieLearn Homework Assigments due on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 11:59pm CT. These are individual assessments. The schedule indicates when the HW will be open, and the due date for 100% credit. Almost every PrairieLearn Lecture Assignment has a corresponding HW. You are strongly encouraged to complete the PrairieLearn Lecture Assignment before you start your HW. You can find all the due dates directly in PrairieLearn.

  4. MP#: These are the PrairieLearn Machine Problems The schedule indicates when the MPs will be open, and the due date for 100% credit (all at 11:59pm CT). These are individual assessments. You can find all the due dates directly in PrairieLearn.

  5. Q#: These are the PrairieLearn Quizzes that happen from Tuesdays to Thursdays at the CBTF. You can find more instructions in the Quizzes page. The schedule below indicates the content covered in each quiz (corresponding HW assignments) and also the dates when the Practice Quizzes (Q#P) will be open. Practice Quizzes will not count towards your grade (zero credit).

The only required synchronous component of this class are the GAs for section N students. Attendance in the first week of classes is strongly encouraged, since we will be talking about all the logistics of the course, and having a demo for the group work. Thursday lecture time is designated to Optional Study Hours or canceled during quiz weeks. During Optional Study Hours, we will work together to complete Jupyter notebooks, that are available in PrairieLearn under the label D#: Demo, and review content for the quizzes.
