Your graded prelim 1 is available through Gradescope—check your email for a link to Gradescope. Please read our comments and the statistics.

Solutions will be posted later; please do not just read them! If you have done poorly on a question, you will learn much more by re-doing it, perhaps in the presence of a member of the course staff for help, than by just reading the solutions! |
