Tremendous Achievement- March 21, 2000

the region. There is a program inplace to immunize as many individuals
between the ages of 15 - 19 years as soon as possible.
THIS IS TIME CRITICAL. There are over 6,000 STUDENTS on the U of A
campus that fall within this age range.
The UHC is taking the responsibility for the on-campus vaccination
program. Please help them by getting this information out to the
students.
The meningitis vaccine will be provided free to University of Alberta

Lab exercises - February 9, 2000
The schedule for the labs and assignments has changes. Please
check the online calendar and activity page.
Printout - January 19, 2000
Printed copies of the lecture notes (c114 version) are available at Quality Color on Campus' office in the basement of the
Cameron Library (room B08). They have been bundled in two parts. Just ask for the c114 lecture notes, lectures 1-13 or c114 lecture notes,
lectures 14-25.
This version can be slightly diffrenet from the slides you see in
class, in the sens that we may see more new slides but the same
material is covered.
Lab exercises - January 14, 2000
There is some confusion about due dates for lab
exercises. Basically, you have one week to do each lab exercise,
regardless when is you lab section during the week. So if you lab
section is on Friday, you have until your next lab section (Friday) to
do your exercise. There are 2 exceptions: Lab exercise 1 that you have
to return the same week during your lab section (Week 2), and lab
exercise 9 for which you have 2 weeks to solve.
Printing Slides - January 14, 2000
You can now either print the slides 4 slides per page or 6
slides per page. Download the appropriate pdf file for printing.
Textbook - January 12, 2000
I put three copies of the textbook on reserve in the Cameron
library. They will be available as of Friday January 14th.
E-mail - January 11, 2000
When you send me an e-mail message regarding the course,
please prefix you subject line with "C102:". This will allow me to
quickly identify course related messages and help me sort through the
large number of e-mail message I receive daily. More
importantly it will help me avoid inadvertently delete relevant student messages.
Lecture time - January 10, 2000
I remind you that lecture time is 14:00 to 14:50 every
Monday, Wednesday and Friday in the same classroom VWing112.
Today some students arrived up to 25 minutes late. It was
tolerated as it was the first lecture and some students may not have
known where the venue was. However, it is not acceptable to interrupt
the class and disturb your fellow students as well as the lecture in
progress. Please show up on time as a courtesy to your
classmates and instructor.
Login ID - January 6, 2000
You should show up for your scheduled lab (or any other
scheduled C114 lab) during the first week to obtain an NT login id.
