Please note: there were initially 5
discussion sections, but they have been reduced to 3, since that worked
better in the past. If you signed up for one of the sessions that
was cancelled, just attend whichever one of the other three works for
your schedule.

Notes on grading (please read):
- The percentages are subject to change as circumstances dictate.
- Since exams are the main indicators we have of individual grasp
of the material, we reserve the right to adjust final letter grades
based on exam performance. In particular, students who do not
achieve a passing average on the exams will not receive a passing grade
in the class.
- We will be following the EECS
departmental policy on Academic Honesty, so be sure you are
familiar
with it.
