We encourage you to work together on these reading and problem assignments. For most students, it is actually unwise to try to work alone. Although you might study in groups, remember that you are ultimately responsible for your learning. Everybody can benefit from team work. You will learn through teaching.
Office hours are available for individual instruction.
In addition, there will be a series of optional problem solving sessions led by undergraduates who have succeeded in this class in the past. They can be a great resource to you. No new information will be introduced during office hours or problem solving sessions. Come prepared to ask and answer problems. C ompetition and Grading Formal education often puts students in competition with each other for good grades.
