I would like to reinforce the importance of looking at today's lecture slides for those who did not attend. Failing to do so could severely impact your grade.
I will likely be around Wednesday afternoon if anyone from my tutor group would like to see me but I will be having my official office hour from 2-3pm on Thursday. Please email me to say you are coming.
Hi All,
I'm going to put in an extra office hour on friday at 2pm. Please make the most of this opportunity.
For those that missed the lecture today, I strongly recommend you read the lecture slides carefully.
