Discussion Sections
Homework assignments will be available in-class and on the web page each Monday and are due the following Monday in lecture or, by 12:00 noon at the latest, to your TA. Homeworks and take-home exams will be collected and graded by your TA (following a shared key) and handed back to you in your discussion section. Therefore, inquiries related to the handling of these assignments should be first directed to your TA.
