TID Schedule – Fall 2008

Note: The course laboratory is the Laboratory for Interactive Learning (Olsen 302). With your UML ID card, you will have 24x7 access to the lab to work on class projects. This is a shared lab—each time you use the lab, you must clean up and organize after yourself.

Note 2: This schedule is under construction! Details will fill in as the semester progresses.
