Past Assignments Archive

Long story short, since we sometimes get requests for copies of the assignments from students after they’ve completed the course, or just from interested people in general, the following listing contains “frozen”, archived versions of assignments from previous years in the course.

You can use these to get a preview for what a particular assignment might be about, but please keep in mind that the “official”, updated assignments for the current semester – the assignments you’ll be completing for a grade – are hosted on Positron! So, for example, you won’t be able to download an older version of an assignment from here and submit it for a grade, since the contents change year-by-year.
