The Reading listed for a day should be done BEFORE that day. Note that "primary reading" may not be sufficient, palatable, or accessible, especially in the programming language segments (first week of a module). Please see the The homework, both written exercises and programming exercises, is organized on a weekly basis and described in detail in the 173 Exercises page. It is (usually) "assigned" at the beginning of a week and due at the end of it, but there are several multi-week assignments.
Written exercises are due in hardcopy by the start of the first class of the following week, either in class or in the box outside TA's office.
Programming exercises due in Blackboard on the day and time indicated in Blackboard: dates below are approximate. There's a 3-day "late" period on programming assignments, which are usually due on Sundays, so the Tuesday date is appropriate as a "drop dead" deadline.
The syllabus may well be updated as reality intrudes, so be prepared for variations.
