Tentative Schedule for Social Computing and Decentralized Artificial Intelligence

Tentative Schedule for Social Computing and Decentralized Artificial Intelligence

The Friday classes are makeup classes for anticipated cancellations. Those classes are optional to attend synchronously but their content is mandatory. Class videos will be available. As the cancellations become known, we will shift the schedule to take up the currently unassigned slots later in the semester.
