Broadcasting: Mookit portal (hello.iitk.ac.in)


Queries and discussion: In class to the extent possible.
Beyond that, in mookit forums.
Avoid "having to" write emails.
Write to ddtandel@... (TA chief) if you have to.
-> Avoid writing to even this address for flimsy
reasons.
Avoid writing to my address except for emergencies
like
serious illness, some genuine emergency etc.
-> I am notorious for ignoring, deleting, misplacing
nonsense emails.
Teaching assistants ------> Learning assistance

Modality:
* A draft lecture will be uploaded (on mookit)
at least 24 hours prior to the class.
* Go through it once before the class,
and keep note of your doubts and queries.
* The same matter will be outlined in class briefly.
* Interrupt at the proper location to ask your question.

Things you should not indulge in (will be taken


seriously):
* DO NOT miss class.
* DO NOT be late, and DO NOT ask "May I come in?" if you
are.
Simply enter through the back door and take a seat
noiselessly.
* DO NOT allow mobile sound in class.
* DO NOT miss the HW deadline. (Late entry NEVER be
accepted.)
* DO NOT drag CW/Exam submission after the instruction
to submit.
