Spring 2016

Learning Assistant Kira Fritsche 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, Sundays 7-8 and Mondays 8-9, in Campbell 215.  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 attend and participate the entire time.  Please bring your textbook to the workshop.

Guidelines for attending workshops.

This schedule is subject to change.
