SP212 Spring 2012 Schedule

Pacing can vary between sections. Do take note that the breakdown below shows 40 lectures topics and 10 labs for a total of 50 meetings focused on specific material. With 50 questions on the final, you can expect questions to be uniformly spread across lecture and lab material approximately in accord with the suggested pacing below.

The suggested problems at the end of each entry refer to end of chapter problems from the corresponding chapter. Be attentive to developing an understanding of problems as opposed to simply getting problems done. Here are all the problems that appear in the schedule below organized by chapter,
