Modelling and Simulation
Fall Term 2008 COMP 522A (CRN 837)
The 2008 incarnation of this course is
similar to the 2006 version.
Have a look at the 2006 website.
The course
Announcements
Monday 15 December. Project presentations, in ARTS W-215. 9:00 - 12:00, 14:00 -- 17:00.
Final project reports and materials are due on December 25th (posted on website).
Tuesday 2 and Wednesday 3 December (the latter for those who missed the Tuesday class).
Class starts at 8:30, with mini-quiz on Hierarchy of System Specification, followed
by an overview of the course and how-it-all-fits-together.
During last week's Wednesday lecture, I announced there would be no class on
Monday and a quiz (on the
Hierarchy of System Specification)
and a wrap-up on Tuesday. So, today (Tuesday), there was a quiz and a wrap-up.
It turns out however that both on the course homepage and in a previous announcement on WebCT,
I announced Wednesday, not Tuesday as the date for this event.
So, noblesse oblige, I will give another test (and wrap-up)
on Wednesday for those who did not take it on Tuesday.
Be there!
