Problems for today's exercise have been posted on the Exercise page.
For this week only, we accept exercise work by 3pm without penalty. Please come to Lab std2 (Research Quandrangles 146) for submission. However, your answers will not be checked before submission. It might be better to work on your exercise problems more and submit next week (even with late submission penalty).
10/24/05
As we review the exercise problems of the previous week at the beginning of each lecture, a late submission is accepted by then. This is changed from the policy in the Syllabus "A late submission is accepted by the end of next week's lecture." The late submission penalty is still -20% (unless otherwise notified). Effectively, this amendment has already been made for weeks in the class but is posted here as a reminder to those who have never missed the in-class submission deadline.

I am not available for today's office hours after 4pm. Sorry inconvenience.
10/20/05
On Oct 24, we cover Sections 2.5 "Scheduling."

It is assumed that each student has own copy of the textbook and he/she reads the sections corresponding to the topics covered by the lecture. While we cannot enforce this rule, you should not expect that you can pass the course without reading textbook (unless you already have 'near-professional' experiences in this field).
