The prelim will be Wednesday, October 6, 7:30 - 9, Olin 155 (where our class is). Lucja will be doing a prelim review session at a date and time to be determined (by Friday -- we'll discuss it in class tomorrow).

Please make sure to staple your homework and attach this grading sheet, either to the front or the back of your homework. This will make it much easier for us to report your grades. If you forget to do it after this week, we'll deduct two points from your homework.
