As you work on the Mindscapes and the Problem Sets, keep in mind the differences in what is expected and how they will be graded (i.e. read the syllabus).

You really need to plan ahead to work on these throughout the week and a half you've been given. If you have any questions, talk with your classmates and come to my office hours. |
