Syllabus

This is your main reference point for all the administrative aspects of the course: what's required, due dates, grading, and so on. I will assume that you have read and understood everything on this list, so if you have a question, ask. I prefer you post syllabus-related questions to the Student Lounge, so everyone else can read my reply, but you may also email me directly.
