Homework
Each unit will occupy one timetabled session. Prior to the session you should have reviewed the material and attempted the exercises. During the session we will talk about the material and work on the problems.
There will be drop-in sessions and a designated timeslot for a quiz.
Your answers to the homework sheet should be handed in no later than one week after the session.
There will be roundup sessions to consolidate what we have learned up to that point, and roundup homework on these sessions will be distributed (the questions on this homework will have topic indicators; you only have to complete the questions related to topics you have taken).

Grades are calculated as follows:-
- round-up quiz, 20%, best two marks from three quizzes;
