In this lab, you will spend the majority of the time going over the previous lab and coordinating with your TA to make sure everything is set for your paper. Below is a homework (i.e., lab) assignment that will make next week's review session in lab more productive. Your TAs will be holding extra TA hours following Alice Andrew's presentation on Tuesday and during class time on Thursday. Jesse will be in SEA 5.108A and Yasu will be down the hallway in SEA 5.108E.
