Tutorials are not mandatory, but are highly recommended. Tutorials are active sessions to help you develop confidence in thinking about probabilistic situations in real time. In tutorial, you discuss and solve new examples with a little help from your classmates and your instructor. The recitation assignments will be based on the recitation and tutorial schedule form, within a few days. In recitation, your instructor elaborates on the theory, works through new examples with your participation, and answers your questions about them. Recitations meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and attendance is mandatory.
This lets you compare them with our solutions right away, rather then waiting a week until the graded homework comes back to you. This way, recitations and tutorials will be much more informative and meaningful. Read the assigned material, but at a minimum, make sure to review the transparencies handed out at lecture. By the weekend, make sure you have reviewed the material covered in the lectures of the preceding week. You are expected to attend.
