Continuous Assessment Marks

I will send you an email either today or Monday regarding your continuous assessment marks.

Week 12

We finished the quick section on mean and root-mean-square values and then we spoke about differential equations.

Week 13 – Revision

• Tuesday 09:00 in B149
• Thursday 09:00 in B180
• Thursday 11:00 in B188

Sadly you have lost out on a tutorial and an extra revision class due to the test you have on Week 13.

The review will be given over to going over last year’s paper (at the back of your notes). If the paper is completed I will take questions from the class. If there are no questions I will help one-to-one.
