Message

Students are expected to review course notes in advance of each class and be prepared with any questions. While some in-class notes review will occur, I would prefer class time be used for discussing implications, actual cases, and exceptions to the material on the notes. While providing background information, course notes will not provide enough depth for success in this class. You are responsible at examination for all material presented at lecture, in the labs, in the assigned readings and tutorials.
