| Weekday | Hours | Room | ||||||||
| Class | M | Tu | W | Th | F | 9:30 | - | 10:50 | 1402 | Homework will be taken up at the beginning of every class. Class size will be small and the lectures will be somewhat informal. Feel free to interrupt at any time with questions. In a one term semester, you have more responsibility to learn. Taking other classes will be very demanding. Missing one lecture means missing an entire chapter. It would be a very good practice to read the chapter beforehand if only to familiarize your self to the concepts. |
| Instructor Office Hours | Tu | Th | F | 11:00 | - | 4207 | See me after class to arrange a meeting. If these hours are not suitable for you, then we can arrange another time. | |||
| Discussion | M | W | 11:00 | - | 12:00 | 1402 | This is where the TA will help you in a more informal setting. You are free to ask questions about subject matter and homwework problems. I do not care if you get help with the homework in discussion! In fact, I implore you too. In a one term semester, you do not have time to not get help. Discussion will end with one quiz from that day or the previous day's material. | |||
| TA Lab Hours | M | W | 12:00 | - | 1:00 | 0104 | If you have any questions about the pre-lab, now would be a good time to seek help. | |||
| Lab | M | W | 1:00 | - | 4:00 | 3220 | The pre-lab will be due at the beginning of lab. The class and lab will not be by in synch. Given the lab schedule, this is simply impossible. This is why it is very important that you do your pre-lab. Doing your pre-lab will also help you finish your lab earlier. | |||
