[cse491] Our last six weeks!

[C. Titus Brown]

Alas, our remaining time together is short.  Whatever shall we do?

(You don't have to read this.  But I am looking for feedback, if you have any:
big projects due in other classes, for example?)

Here is a brief description of the topics for the remaining 6 weeks of the
term.  Comments, thoughts, etc. welcome, in class or in person.
