Question

I cannot understand which course assignment comes after which lecture. I mean I am at lecture 7 at the moment, but I definitely shouldn't be doing course assignment 7. The same applies to the quizzes. Not sure when should I take them.

Answer 1

In Video Lecture 1 Prof. Grimson explains the structure of the course. There are 2 one hour lectures per week, with 1 problem set assigned per week. There are 24 video lectures total and thus 12 total problem sets (excluding Problem Set 0, and the IDLE set up assignment). Problem Set 1 corresponds to Video Lectures 1 & 2, Problem Set 2 to Video Lectures 3 & 4, etc.

Lectures 7 & 8 (week 4 of the course) would cover the material needed to solve Problem Set 4.

Problem Set 7 would be for material covered in lectures 13 & 14 (week 7 of the course).
