[944] Office hours, Homework, Recitation, and Grading rubric

[Gautam Iyer]

Hi All,

1. There will be a recitation tomorrow at 10:30AM led by your TA Jonghwa
   park.

2. Your first homework is online. (I will usually announce this in
   class, and not send you a separate email about it, unless I have
   something else to notify you about.) Your homework is due on
   Gradescope before class one week from today. (If you're running late,
   please look up the late homework policy is on the class website.)

   I strongly recommend thinking about the homework problems early, and
   not leaving it for the last minute. There are typically a few
   problems that require "some thought" to work out the solution, and
   you will rarely get problems that involve just blinding substituting
   from a formula you memorize. I encourage you to collaborate on the
   homework; but please write up your solutions independently. (Also use
   the feel free to use the discussion board to get ideas.)

3. Office hours from next week:
    
	Jonghwa: Tuesdays from 3:30PM to 5:00PM 
	Gautam: Wednesdays from 12:00PM to 1:00PM (I may be able to stay
	    until 1:15 on some weeks).

   Office hours will be on Zoom, and a meeting link and password will be
   posted on the class website.

   I looked at the MSCF calendar and didn't see any conflict with these
   times. If there is an MSCF event / course that this conflicts with
   please let me know, and I will see if we can resolve it.

4. Thank you for pointing out the error in my grading rubric from today
   😄. I have adjusted it:

	Attendance: 5%
	Homework: 10%
	Midterm: 25%
	Final: 60%

   The new rubric is on the class website (along with other rules / rest
   of the syllabus / references).

Best,

Gautam
