HW Assignments. A list of problems will be posted on MS TEAMS (almost) every Wednesday evening. These are not meant for submission, but only for self-study. You are expected to work on these problems on your own (this is not a team sport) before the subsequent tutorial, where (1) the TA will moderate a discussion on this problem set, and (2) you will answer a written based on it. The TA will not be helpful if they perceive any lack of preparation.
Evaluation Scheme.  
Course materials. You will be added to the UM 204 MS Teams page, where you can access your grades and other course materials.
Course Calendar. Topics and assignments will be updated here. Tutorials are highlighted in yellow.
