Class Notes

The class coordinator sent this email

Students can now purchase copies of the classnotes (PPT files posted on
111/112 website) at the TEES Copy Center (2nd Floor Wisenbaker Bldg.).
These are the "class version" of the notes and do not contain all the
material of the instructor's version (RATs, solutions to in-class
exercises, etc). At this time, I do not know the price.

Be sure that your student are aware of these facts and that they are
not required to buy the notes. Also announce that students are NOT to
print copies of these notes in any of our 111/112 classrooms/labs (315,
319, 416, 421 CVLB).
