Notes: - Written portions of assignments are due at the start of class (12:00pm) on their due date. Digital submissions (e.g. code, PDFs) are due by 11:00am on Blackboard (so that students show up to class on time).
- The schedule is subject to change, as the semester progresses, however any changes will be made at least one week in advance of the dates affected.
- You are expected to have completed the Lin and Dyer readings before class on the days indicated. We have provided suggested readings for White's book as well; however, since that book contains reference material on Hadoop in general, you will probably find it useful to jump around as necessary while completing homework assignments.
