EPS2 students

If this is your first message from me, Welcome!

Please go to the website (http://socrates.berkeley.edu/~eps2/) and follow the links for studetnts. Pay particular attention to the "schedule".

If you are enrolled for 3 credits you will be participating in hands on activities (see the dates and topics for the labs on the schedule page). We did meet yesterday, but the main class meetings begin Monday, February 4th.

ALL STUDENTS

As you will see from the schedule, the first open book quiz is on February 8, 2008. Between now and then you should work through the two Module 1 lectures.

Also, please look at the instructions for the term paper. Although not due until the end of semester, this is an opportunity for you to delve into a topic in more detail. You may want to explore a few possible topics before choosing one. Ask first if you want to choose a topic not listed.

Please email me if you have questions.
