WARNING:
We sometimes find that
some students absent themselves
from tutorials, and others do not acquire, or see the book,
others do not prepare for tutorials. This is to remind you,
if you might be one of these people, that you are required to attend tutorials,
that your grade will be based in part on the marks you get for
the work you turn in and for the QUIZ which takes place in each
tutorial. If you turn nothing in, your homework mark is ZERO.
If you are not there, your quiz mark is ZERO. The quizzes are
based on the assigned questions from the book.
Prepare the answers before you come to tutorial,
and use the tutorial to clear up any difficulties. You can also come
to my Office-Hours (M9, W9, F9, in 30 Top Logic).
