CS497 is being offered for 1, 2 or 3 credits, and can be taken for a letter grade or pass/fail. There would be very few regular meetings. The course would take from 2-3 to 8-9 hours per week on average (depending on how many credits you choose to take) with all the assumed flexibility implied by the title "independent study".
The graduate students in CS793 will be expected to participate in all the activities engaged in by the undergraduate students enrolled in CS497 and, in addition, will be required to read and critically analyze a research paper from the literature, and make their analysis available to the group.

There will be an organizational meeting at 2:00 pm, on the first Friday of each semester, in the lab space IACC 258-A3 (just down from the main office). If you are interested but cannot attend, or you have questions, whatever, please send email.
