Tutorials and Assignments

There will be 2 or 3 assignments throughout the term that will be handed in for marks. These assignments will be made available in lecture and on the WEB.

Further, there will be a series of quizzes in tutorial. The TA will select a True/False question at random from the study guide and students will have 10 minutes to explain why the question is true or false.

Finally, there will be a selection of end-of-chapter questions to be discussed in tutorial. Note: students are expected to have prepared answers for these questions before tutorials. TA's are not employed to simply give out answers to students who couldn't be bothered to do their homework.
