Descripció
I will be in my office for personal consultation at established office hours. I will also be available for consultation, etc. via e-mail or telephone. It is absolutely essential that you consult with me regarding your class presentations and your assignments. This group tutorial with me should take place two weeks before your class presentation. Independent research is encouraged but so are person-to-person tutorials.
