| 8-13-2005 | Proj4

| 8-12-2005 | Emails
- When you email us, please be sure to include your login so that we don't have to look it up. Not that it is terribly difficult to
do, but it will save us time and you will get your work graded and issues dealt with sooner. Thanks, Sujay

- If you can't make the scheduled exam time, talk to Jeff at lecture tomorrow (Wednesday).
- Kurt updated his exam hints.
|
| 7-18-2005 | Homework, Grading, Face2Face, Scheduling ...
- I apologize for the delay in the submission of the third week HW grades as well as for the lack of Face2Face sessions last week. In
order to compensate for the lag, I will have office hours everyday this week and possibly next week (if needed) from 8:00am to 9:15am on
the second floor of Soda Hall. I would like to encourage people to come in for face2face grading during these hours on a drop-in basis
(especially if they are quick ones). Also, look out for changes on my face2face schedule all through this week and next week as I try to
put out more slots as they fit my schedule. As for the policy regarding the missed face2face appointments, the policy no longer applies
if you sign up for face2face with me, which means that if you miss an appointment with me for whatever reason, don't freak out, its
okay, just sign up again and/or show up to my office hours. If I am going to be laid back about scheduling, its only fair that I let you
guys do the same. However, please try not to abuse the system. NOTE: UNLESS JEFF SAYS OTHERWISE, NONE OF THIS APPLIES IF YOU HAVE JEFF
FOR YOUR FACE2FACE SESSIONS.
Thanks,
Sujay
