Plan for Thursday, 9 April
For the scheduled “Midterm”, the TAs will lead a class focused around a relevant and interesting video. There will not be any graded exam, but I’m sure the class will be very worthwhile!
Note: Dave will be away Thursday and Friday (so will also not have office hours on Friday this week).
