Please PRINT OUT and BRING your Discussion Section Assignment to your Discussion Section.
Problem Sets: Problem sets are meant to reinforce your understanding of main class topics by adding both hands-on experiments and a direct quantitative dimension to the class. Sections and problem sets are meant to expand on material in lecture- they are not necessarily derived directly from lecture material or the book. Thus in order to complete the problem sets, you must attend section! No advanced math is required; the problem sets require thinking in a quantitative way, and applying basic math or supplied equations to understand ocean processes. Teaching assistants are there to help you – this is the time to ask questions!
