NOTE This needs to be double-checked, and will be shortly. Though it will also change during the semester.
This is the current view of how the semester will proceed, but the schedule will be adjusted from time to time. Do not rely on the printed copy; the truth is here: https://bucomplx.github.io/lx496s20/schedule/. Homework is due when the block ends in the schedule below; homework 0 is due on January 28. Chapters:sections refer to the NLTK book.
