There is no tutorial on Friday Jan. 9th. Starting on Jan 16th, there will be a quiz on the homework and computer assignments almost every week (there should be nine quizzes). Quiz questions will be similar but not necessarily identical to homework questions. Quizzes MAY include questions about computer assignments, or you may be required to hand in your printout -- so always bring printouts to the quiz. If you do not take a quiz it is a zero. However, your lowest quiz score will be dropped.
