Attribute Elicitation Exercise/ Assignment 1 / Assignment 2 / Assignment 3
This schedule is flexible, meant to guide our learning, not dictate it.
A "week" begins on the day of the week that is the "first day of instruction" on the SJSU Academic Calendar
All assignments are due on the last day of the week the assignment is posted.
For instance, if the first day of instruction is a Wednesday, each subsequent Wednesday starts a new week, and each Tuesday is therefore the last day of a week.
