The exercises will help
you to master the basic concepts for the given week. Each assignment consists of an
etude and the main part.
Work out the etudes on your own before you meet with
your partner. When you meet, compare your solutions and discuss any problems you encountered. If you are
unable to complete the etudes by Sunday, ask questions in class, or see someone during their office hours.
Etudes are designed to give you a practice with the basic skills you need to understand for each week.
Keep your solutions in your portfolio, but do not hand them in. We will check them
when we check your portfolio.
Work on the main part of the assignment with your partner. Hand in
one joint program.
