Office Hours:  Wednesdays 11-1


This page is where I will post discussion handouts (which will also be printed and distributed at discussion sections) and other files that we use in sections.  Information will be posted on a need-to-know basis.  Although you may not need to check this page hourly, it will be a source of tremendous excitement and knowledge throughout the semester and four or five visits a day should be sufficient.
