18.443 Schedule and syllabus, Fall 2014
R. Dudley, E18-412, [email protected]
A grad student TA has been assigned, only half-time, and will be helping
grade exams and check PS solutions. Undergraduate graders will grade psets.
No office hours are planned; instead, you are encouraged to ask me any
questions by email. As seems appropriate I will answer to the class.
