Problem sets posted on eClass will neither be handed in nor be marked. The pseudo “due date” for each problem set is
the Friday of the indicated week. These problem sets serve as very important practice materials for the seminars and the
exams and should be completed carefully before the suggested due dates. Solutions to the problem sets will be posted on
eClass after the due dates.

General guidelines for seminars


 Seminar marks will be out of 20 each; final seminar mark will be calculated based on the best 8 of the 10 marked
seminars. Seminar 11 will not be handed in or marked. However, both questions and solutions will be posted
and students are responsible for the material.
 A student must attend the seminar section corresponding to the lecture section they are registered in. Approval for an
exception must be obtained from the instructor who will judge whether such an exception is justified. If approval is
granted, the student must obtain a note from the instructor and give it to the Teaching Assistant of the other seminar
the student is going to attend.
 No seminar sheets should be removed from the session, and taking photos of the seminar questions is strictly
forbidden. Students are permitted to bring their notes and textbooks. Electronic devices (e.g. laptops, tablets and cell
phones) are only allowed for the purpose of accessing local copies of the textbooks and course materials authorized by
the instructor. No internet access is allowed during the seminars.
 Students must hand in their answered seminar sheets after 50 minutes.
