0. Second exam on Thursday: another reminder.
1. Workshop activities 8.1 posted.
2. Some students complained about the lecture time being too early.
Please be aware that I did not set the lecture time.
I hate to get up at 6 aclock in the morning as much as you do.
3. Some students complained about the attendance credits.
I want to reminder you that if you do not want to attend the lectures and at the same time do not want to lose credits, there are plenty of extra credit problems that you can solve: to get 10% grade, you only have to solve 20 extra problems correctly. If you can not solve these problems, you should probably attend the lectures anyway.
