Lecture Notes

I consistently update the GIANT page as the semester progresses so I advise against printing it all out now.

• One GIANT page.
• Individual lectures available after the lecture is given.

Exams

There will be a final exam during finals week. A practice exam will be available. Please do not plan any trips until the exam date is settled.

A practice final is here. Starting 2009-10, I have included 10%-20% fill-in-the-blank questions. The practice final above was timed for the entire 1:50. Your final will have somewhat less to leave time for the fill-in questions. Sample fill-in questions are here

Please note the format. You write your answers on the question sheet (or the backs). I will have blue books available, but they are only for scrap.

Answers to the practice final are here.

Answers to the fill-in questions are here

Office Hours: Tues 1:-1:45, Thurs 3:30-4:45, and by Appointment

Teaching Assistants

There are four TAs assigned to this course; each has an office hour in addition to mine listed above. Their office hours will be held in room 303 of CIWW. The day and time is listed below.

I have divided the class alphabetically by last name. Each group is assigned to one TA. The breakdown is below

Your labs should be sent via email to your assigned TA, but you can attend any of the office hours and can send email questions to any of them. Naturally, questions about your lab grades should go to your assigned TA.
