FYI, the tentative teaching schedule has been posted for the 2013-2014 academic year.
We don’t have instructors listed yet and we will not likely have that information until late this quarter, but hopefully this will help you plan your courses to some degree. It is of course tentative which means subject to change. We don’t know exactly how this will play out until we finalize any possible hiring decisions.

It has recently been added. We will be contacting the folks in the Degree Audit course to add CSE 452 to the Core CSE list. If you are currently enrolled in 452, wait another week and then run an audit and it should show up in the right place.
