I will offer some problem sessions during the semester. These are optional, for students who want the extra discussion; they also give me useful feedback on my teaching in class. The sessions are open-ended, so you may arrive late, in hopes that we're still at it.

These dates do not coincide with any religious holiday which causes suspension of New York City's alternate side parking regulations; see NYC Parking Calendar.
Please discuss other conflicts with me in advance of the exam in question. Under extenuating circumstances, exams can be rescheduled to specific alternate dates and times. Missed exams will become grades of zero.
