This is the current view of how the semester will proceed, but the schedule will be adjusted from time to time. Do not print a copy and then rely on it; the truth is here: http://ling-blogs.bu.edu/lx321s24/schedule/. Initially, homework will be handed out on Friday and due on Friday. Homework 1 is due Friday, Feb 2. The color coding is intended to represent the dates you have assignments in your hands: Homework 4 will be distributed on Feb 16, and be due on Feb 23. Etc.
