Consultation Sessions: An Update

I have updated the consultation sessions. E.g., by student request, the Tuesday week 6 session to discuss the mock exam has been moved to Friday of week 5. Go to that blog entry for details.

B8b problem sheets from years past

One student asked me about these, as they were "posted" for a few minutes, so here is the answer that I wrote to this student:

Those are from prior years, and there was a need for a complete record of B8b, and that was
the easiest way for me to download them so that I had such a record (to do it without
bothering anybody else). They were thus "posted" for a few minutes.

I can post them again because I don't mind your having them, BUT I do not vouch for
anything in there being relevant for the current course---i.e., you are welcome to use them
if you want, but I make no promises whatsoever as to whether they will be helpful. They
were not posted there for revision, though also note that the practice exam will be ready
soon, and that is posted for revision.

Answer Sheet 4 posted

I have posted answer sheet 4. You can find relevant code for particular problems by googling or by going to the MI website for B8b. (Note that the code on the MI website is from prior years, but it should be fine.)

Corrected Solution Sheet 1 posted

I have corrected a couple of small points in problem 5c (thanks to eagle-eyed students for one of them!). I have also corrected a small point in problem 1c.

Consultation Sessions

Week 2: Thursday: 4 - 5 pm (Kostas; Gibson Building [OCCAM]; RI2.3; drop in)

Week 3: Monday: 10 am - 11 am, 11am - 12 noon (Me; DHSR1; drop in)
Thursday: 4 - 5 pm (Kostas; Gibson Building [OCCAM]; RI2.3; drop in)

Week 4: Monday: 10 am - 11 am, 11am - 12 noon (Me; DHSR3; drop in)
Thursday: 4 - 5 pm (Kostas; Gibson Building [OCCAM]; RI2.3; drop in)

Week 5: Thursday: 4 - 6 pm (Kostas; Gibson Building [OCCAM]; RI2.3; drop in)
Friday: 10 am - 12 noon (Me, DHSR3). [We will go over solutions to the "fake old exam".]

Week 6: Monday: 10 am - 12 noon (Me; L2). [We will again go over the solutions to a "fake old exam" in this session.]


Also, Kostas is planning to offer a Matlab session at some point as well as a set of consultation sessions. [My understanding is that this occurred during week 1.]


Update (5/2/10): I have noticed a couple of bugs in the MI's list of consultation sessions regarding what is being covered in which session. The correct information is here.

Update (5/10/10): The room has changed for the Monday consultation session in week 4. The Tuesday week 6 session to cover the mock exam has been moved to Friday of week 5.
