I strongly recommended you attend every session as announcements are made and material is often presented that is not covered in the text. If you cannot make it to class, then copy the notes of a classmates, but do NOT expect me to re-explain the class lecture. One of the pitfalls that students fall into in courses such as this one is falling behind. Since the course is cumulative and fast paced it can be very difficult to catch up. In addition, grading piles of late work near the end of the term imposes an undue burden on the instructor.
Assignments are due on the last day of the week specified in the schedule.
Assignments will be accepted up to two weeks late without penalty. Assignments over two weeks late will not be accepted without prearrangement. I expect us to complete approximately 1 tutorial a week but circumstances may cause the schedule to slip. Assignments consist of completing and demonstrating exercises as specified.
