The following table will show a rough estimate for when you should have certain things completed. The dates that prelectures are due are the same dates that you should have read the entire chapter. Even though the homeworks are not due until shortly before the exam, you should be working on them as your class progresses through each chapter. This is a rough date of when you should be done with a chapter and moving on to the next so as not to fall behind and become overwhelmed.

There are certain sections noted in the far right column which may be covered in class, but will not be explicitly tested on exams.
