COURSE WEBSITE, OSBLE

The course will use three different web resources for different purposes:

The "course website" (i.e., this page you are reading now) is where lecture notes and homeworks will be posted, and the course schedule will be maintained. See corresponding links.
Angel: This will be used for email correspondence between students and the instructor/TAs. This includes submission of programming projects.
The OSBLE learning portal will be used for course announcements, and online discussion forums. Please see here for instructions on how to set up your OSBLE account and other personal settings. This is NOT an optional step. All students enrolled in this class should take care of this by the first week of the semester.
