News

Please make sure that you understand the Quiz II Solutions.
Quiz II stats: 43 scores, average (mean) 82.6, standard deviation 21.
You should have a team and a good idea of what to do for your Final Proect by Friday, 11/14. You must send us mail immediately if you have not already arranged teams.
Graded work is waiting to be picked up in NE43-715, in the office of the Course Secretary, Marie Lamb. There are graded exams, design projects, and lab write-ups through Lab 5.
Office hours are generally the same every weekend. However, our TAs occasionally have conflicts and thus any changes will be posted here. Of course, you can always send us mail.
Don't forget: you can volunteer to take notes (informative ones that others can use!) during lecture, and have your lowest problem set score dropped. Arrange this directly with Professor Stein.
