Announcements

Welcome!

All assignments, labs, and information will appear here by week, in chronological order. I originally had them in reverse order, but I changed my mind. I realized that if I want to put a bunch of assignments up at a time (and encourage people to work ahead), then reverse order makes that more confusing.
