Full Course Calendar (Summer 2021)

This class has a lot of moving parts: lectures, homeworks, projects, tests, surveys, peer review, participation, and more. It can be a lot to track, so this calendar provides a canonical list of everything you need to do on a weekly basis. If you check off all these tasks and deliverables, you’ve completed the coursework. Numbers in parentheses give the approximate amount of time we expect each task to require (in hours).

Note that we differentiate work on RPM Milestones from work on the project more generally; even after finishing Milestone 2, for instance, you will likely spend time further improving your agent’s performance on the problems covered by Milestone 2 in order to improve for the final project submission at the end of the term.
