This is a large class. I try to make it feel smaller by using discussion sections, but there's no denying that lots of the advantages of a small class are lost. To the extent that I don't know about these things, my ability to teach you is impaired, and your ability to get the most out of my class is limited as well. I am happy to see you during office hours, and if that is inconvenient, we can make an appointment for another time. I have 250 students this semester.
Office hours are first come, first serve, so get there early and bring something to read or study.
Naturally, in case of disagreement, I will be happy to read the quiz or assignment. The primary way to learn this is by doing it, but for those of you who are unsure that you are getting the central points, or for those of you who must, for one reason or another miss class, notes taken by your AIs or interns will be on the Y103 home page on the Web for you to borrow or copy. It is against the rules of this class for anyone to sell his or her notes, and if we catch you doing so, you will receive an F for the course. We reserve the right to collect and check notes in class if we find that notes are being sold. Quizzes and are closed book, closed notes.
