Class meetings

Based on course enrollment, this class has been assigned one GSI (David Bindel). Consequently, there will not be five separate section meetings. The grey lines in the table of meeting times are canceled sections; if you are in one of these sections, please transfer to section 0101 or 0104. If you cannot make it to either section, send mail to David, who will try to schedule an extra office hour / mini-section.
