15-213/15-513: Introduction to Computer Systems: Course Schedule

Notes on the schedule

15-213 has classes Tuesday through Friday. Tuesdays are highlighted with a tan background. Mondays only appear in the table below when an assignment is due or released on a Monday.

When the “Material” column is blank on a Tuesday through Friday, the class period will be time to work on assignments, with faculty and TAs present to answer questions; attendance is optional. Attendance is also optional for any material labeled as “bootcamp” or “review”.

15-513 students are not expected to attend classes. They should instead watch the videos (posted as each class happens) and do the activities on their own time. They are welcome to attend the class if they are present in Pittsburgh, but will be asked to leave if there is not enough space for everyone.

The “Textbook Chapters” column gives a list of chapters in CS:APP that all students should study before that class.

Notes on links

Links to recorded lectures, slide decks, etc. will be added to each day’s “Material” entry immediately before the class begins.

• video links are to recorded lectures given in previous semesters that cover approximately the same material as the in-person class session. (The class sessions themselves are not being recorded.)
• pptx links are to Powerpoint slide decks.
• pdf links are to PDF slide decks.
• activity links are to hand-outs used for in-class activities.
• activity-sol links are to solutions for in-class activities.
• code links are to directories containing code used for class demonstrations.
• tar links are to archive files in TAR format, also containing code used for class demonstrations. Use the tar command on a linux machine to unpack these
• al-213 and al-513 links are to Autolab assignment pages. Make sure to use the link for the version of the course you are enrolled in! The other one will not work for you.
