Syllabus
The table below lists all topics, assignments, and extra resources for 105L this semester.
The Assignment column links to the PDF of the day’s worksheet or lab, or to an online assignment. Resources, such as lab spreadsheets, needed external websites, or extra videos are linked in the Extra Resources column. Lab PDFs are linked in the relevant lab’s entry in the Topic column.
Worksheets are to be handed in on Gradescope the Monday of the week after they are assigned in class, by 8am. Worksheet regrades are due the Monday after worksheet assignments are returned, also by 8am.
Textbook sections containing material relevant to a given day’s class or lab are listed in the table below. It is recommended that students read the relevant textbook sections. Questions at the end of textbook sections may be done as background and supplementary material. Solutions to all textbook questions can be found on Sakai under ‘Resources’ -> ‘Textbook Solutions’. No questions from the textbook will be collected or graded.
All assignments have due dates listed in the table below. Note that all assignments are due by 8am on the day listed.
