Lecture handouts and the associated reading from the course packet (T) and Program Live (PL) are listed here. Typically, lecture handouts are sketches of the lectures and may contain example programs that are too long for students to copy in class. Lecture handouts are not complete transcripts of the lectures. You are expected to attend lecture and to take notes for yourself.
