Course Syllabus

Overview

Students should watch Udacity course videos according to the following schedule. It is recommended for students to do lab sessions on the schedule by yourself as early as possible since some of homework may cover the lab materials scheduled later than the homework. For the online video lectures, CS/CSE students should go to Udacity while Analytics students should navigate to Edx instead, please check details on Canvas.
