Tutorial questions and homework
For the tutorials, I will announce which questions from theexercise booklet you should look at in advance of the class.
You should have a look at the questions before the class sothat you have a good idea what you want to ask about; this isa much better use of the time available than if you only lookat them for the first time in the class.
Homework will be set after tutorials on five occasions, to behanded in on the following Monday via Blackboard. The planis that the homework deadlines before Christmas will be on theMondays 19 October, 2 November, 16 November, 30November and 14 December. I will set two questions to behanded in and marked as homework, for feedback purposes.
