Workshop participation is required in this course. Accordingly, I will ask your workshop leaders to keep track of participation, and this will be a (small) part of your final grade. Note that confusion and misunderstandings are not anathema to participation. However, sleeping through workshop does not count as participation.
Pre-lecture reading is also a requirement of the course. As a check on your reading and a feedback mechanism for me, I will ask each of you to complete ``pre-flight'' questions following your reading. Pre-flights are due by 8am the morning before each lecture. These will be computer-based questions, and your participation will count as a (small) part of your grade.
