Discussion
Sections:
Discussion sections are held two times per week.
They are most useful for help on HW, lecture topics, and exam
preparation. Discussion sections start Thurs, Jan. 24.
|
| Laboratories:
Laboratories
are three hours long, once per week. Labs start the week of Jan. 28, and
there are ten labs this semester. Labs are mandatory; each
missed
lab will automatically lower your final grade by half a letter point.
Missed labs can only be made up with an approved excuse (it needs to be a good one!), and your TA's approval. Pending approval, makeup labs will be scheduled during the three midterm exam weeks (see the syllabus). Please see the laboratory link at left for further details. |
