*note: Your TA will make arrangements regarding how and when to hand in this assignment.  Handing it in after the due date/time assigned by your TA will result in a grade of 0.

 

IMPORTANT:

 

1. Note that some weeks, a particular lab section may meet on a day that would make it more useful for

 students to review for an exam than to go over new material. We will all work together to accommodate

such situations in a way that optimizes your ability to master the material in an overall sense.

 

2. If your lab does not meet on a particular week due to the academic calendar, you still need to complete

these homework assignments and hand them in the subsequent week. In such instances, you may attend

a different lab section, see the TAs or Professor for help, or simply base your work on your reading and

on notes from class.
