CSCI-5550 Computer Networks

Saint Louis University

Class Schedule

Class notes (often slides) will be posted as soon as reasonable after each lecture. The slides are not nearly as complete or polished as the associated readings from the book or other material. In truth, they exist mostly to provide a brief outline of the day's lecture, or to give you pointers on topics we covered. Students are expected to read the associated sections of the book. If my notes or slides include material that is not in the book, I will explicitly add other references. When I do not add any other material, you should not expect to be tested on these extra topics.

June 16th will be the last day of class.
Look at slides to find the right book sections to study within each chapter.
