The take-home assignments will be similar in format to final exam problems. You will be asked to solve a problem and/or evaluate data relevant to material discussed in lectures. There will be one assignment for each of the three lecture sections B1-3 (below). You may work together, and consult any source, but will hand in an individual assignment, which will be individually evaluated. The objectives of these assignments are to help you understand and use the information and experimental approaches presented in class, and to provide you with practice in answering the type of questions you will see on the final exam. See below for information on tutorial evaluation.
