Requirements
8 weekly tutorials
8 written assignments - a mix of problems and essays
All assignments are due by 1:00 on Wednesday, to my pigeon hole in Broadgates. For essays,
an additional electronic copy should be submitted by e-mail.
It is a condition for attending the tutorial that you complete the assigned work
beforehand. Work submitted late - after the Wednesday deadline but before (up to the
last minute before) the tutorial starts - will be accepted and will entitle you to
attend the tutorial, but may or may not be marked; I make no promises. Work submitted
after the tutorial will not be accepted. If you know in advance that you will not be
able to complete your assignment, or cannot attend your tutorial, contact me in advance.
