Fall 2012

Learning Assistants Shan Shan and Wangyi Pan will run (almost) weekly workshops during the semester.  They will review and go into greater depth on some of the important topics from the course.  These workshops are optional, but I strongly encourage you to attend.  Most weeks there will be two identical sessions per week, Sunday and Monday evenings from 6:00 to 7:00, in room Buttrick G-13.  For each week that you attend, you will get one point on the next exam (bringing your grade up to a maximum of 100).  To get the extra credit, you must send me an email pledging that you attended the workshop the entire time.

This schedule is subject to change.
