The additional problems will cover material from the lecture that is not specifically in the text. Problem sets will be due on a class day. A detailed solution set will be posted to the website so that you can carefully assess your own performance and learn from you mistakes. Problem sets are not tests. You may work with your friends and get help from the TAs.
Problems sets are very important.
Signup requires that 4 section times be selected in order of your preference. No preference is given for early signup, and it is in your own best interest to make sure that 4 different section times are submitted. If one section time is selected for four choices and that choice is not obtained, an available section will be randomly assigned to you. Normal lectures will be held the mornings of the Midterm exams. See above for the grading of the exams.
