9. 02/10/06 Monday 02/13/06 we will more than likely begin Section 3.2 in addition to finishing Section 3.1.

10. 02/16/06 I graded homework (rather superficially) until 01/30/06. Grades were generally very high as a result. Generally they are probably a bit lower now. Since 01/30/06 our class has had an undergraduate homework grader who grades 4 problems on each assignment rather carefully. Your TA receives the solutions to the graded homework just after the assignment is turned in.
