Tutor Lab and Office Hours
I am in my office (Rood 3371) frequently throughout the week, so you can always stop in there.
Questions or concerns about the class itself - grades, exams, structure of the class, etc - should come to me directly.
If you have questions on the course materials though, please try to make the book and the tutor lab your first resources.
The tutor lab times are:
Mon/Wed:
The tutor lab is not a replacement for class time. Don't go in there expecting the tutor to teach you a topic from scratch.
(they might be willing to, but that's up to each tutor individually, and how they explain something might differ from how I did).
If you missed class, I would suggest talking to someone in class, or checking below to see what sections you missed and reading through them.
Then try the recommended exercises. Then take those exercises to the tutor lab and ask for help on them, they'll be able to confirm that you're on the
right track, or see what you've done so they know where you're making mistakes. That should give you a good start and we can fill in the gaps later.
If you come to my office I will expect that you were either in class or took steps to catch up prior to coming to me.
Tue/Thr:
Friday:
What we have covered:
Note: I try to pick out a few problems similar to the homework, but I don't really think about the number I pick out, I just go until there's a decent amount.
Exercises: 1.1, 1.3, 1.5 (pg 14-1)
