RELATIONSHIP AMONG COURSES CS 682 shares lecture sessions with CS 482 and CS 782. CS 682 is the "pivot" course between CS 482 and CS 782: CS 482 simplifies CS 682. A popular scheme is for the 482 student to do all the work assigned to the CS 682 student but with an "allowance" whereby grading can be skewed by choosing "best" portions. See below for more information on CS 482. CS 782 students normally take a lead in project work creating more scientific documents, fully referenced, etc.
