Assignments

Most weeks we will have a short-ish assignment. The current not-for-credit assignment is probably a good example. We will skip exam weeks, and only about half of the assignments will be marked for credit.

You should plan to take time every week to do the assignment, whether we will mark it or not.

{% comment %} The original plan was to release for-credit assignments on: The current plan is to release for-credit assignments on:

• 30 Jan
• 27 Feb
• 6 Mar
• 27 Mar

The 6 Mar was changed to not-for-credit because of time constraints {% endcomment %}

{% comment %} The plan will depend on how busy the course team is. {% endcomment %}

Also, here is a rant that I posted a few years ago when I was less mellow, or the students were less subtle. Make of it what you will.

Dropboxes

On the first floor of the Life Sciences building. The "bank" of dropboxes is in two sections between Rooms 115 and 116, near the door to the lobby. Our dropboxes are on the lower right (one for each TA).
