This directory contains outlines, which are files containing examples and organizational information for the lecture meetings in Com S 541. The information in these files is intentionally incomplete, to help make learning more active during class. If it works for you, print these before lecture and take notes on them. The meeting outlines in this directory are organized hierarchically. The units are described in the file Outline-units.txt. The format of Outline-units is that lines beginning with a * name units, those with one asterisk (*) are major units, those with two (**) are subunits, etc. Each unit name that begins with a lower-case letter (a-z) is also the name of a file found in this directory that contains the meeting outlines for that unit. The notes here are subject to change without notice. If you can, print them at the latest possible time before the lectures, as that will make them correspond better to the notes actually used in class.
