Exercises
Answer each question.
-
When and where are the lectures each week?
On the Course Home page, select the "Lab Times" link in the General Information widget. This page lists all course sessions, their times, locations, and instructors.
It also tells you when and where TAs are available for office hours
-
Can I arrive late to or leave early from lecture?
Attendance is not required, so you won't lose points. But, please be considerate of your classmates and try to minimize any disruption that you make in arriving after the start of lecture or departing prior to the end of lecture.
-
Can I ask questions before or after lecture?
In general, there is very little time before or after lecture to answer questions. Please ask your question during lecture or during office hours.
Before lecture, I am trying to get all of my notes, demos and other organized and after lecture I'm trying to clean up to get to my next lecture. I will try to leave a few minutes for questions, but it's a mistake to expect my undivided attention during this time. I'm much better able to hear your question and respond correctly if I'm not trying to get to my next class. I hope students can respect and honor this request.
-
Do you ever post your lecture notes for students?
In general, no I do not post lecture notes. I truly believe that students learn best from writing their own notes. Everything I know gets written to the web site in one way or another. Typing my notes to post online, reinforces my understanding at the same time as it removes an incentive for students to take their own notes.
If you missed something during lecture, ask me to repeat the information (I don't mind as this helps all students).
