DM26, Fall 2004 - Weekly Note 13

Announcements:

The exam dates have now been settled as expected: January 5, 6, and 7. There are sheets at the departemental office for signing up for specific dates and times.

You need to sign up for next semesters courses at the administration web pages. If you are taking elective courses at Imada next semester, you should also give information on your selected courses to Imada if you wish to influence the schedule of the elective courses. Deadline for both is Friday, December 10. As a new thing, signing up for a course also means signing up for its exam (i.e. there will not be any signing up for exams in March, and you will loose an exam attempt if you sign up for a course but do not show up for the exam, unless you in the mean time sign off for the exam).
