STRUCTURE
Most days I will begin by taking questions/concerns you may have about the content discussed in the previous week's lectures. Often, this will lead directly into a brief review of some important topics/concepts.

The bulk of the discussion will revolve around solving problems in small groups.

As I want to maximize the benefits of these sections, I am open to modifying the structure to fit your needs. Please don't ever hesitate to ask questions or voice suggestions, concerns, and/or criticisms!

commented exercises
We will have a 1-question-5-minute exercise at the end of most sections. The exercise will not factor into your grade for the course in any way. I will provide you feedback and commentary on these exercises and return them to you the following week.
