To help students develop their ideas on the project step-by-step, a weekly recitation/discussion TA class is offered (Mondays 10-11am). Students are highly encouraged to attend the TA class. Although participation will not be counted, worksheets and tips provided in the TA class may be highly beneficial to the final project (which counts for 60 points). Bonus points may be offered.
