Recitations



Recitations

This section contains documents that could not be made accessible to screen reader software. A "#" symbol is used to denote such documents.

This section contains problems that are solved during recitation and tutorial sessions in addition to weekly notes that give an overview of topics to be covered. During recitations, the instructor elaborates on theories, solves new examples, and answers students' questions. Recitations are held separately for undergraduates and graduates. During tutorials, students discuss and solve new examples with a little help from the instructor. Tutorials are active sessions to help students develop confidence in thinking about probabilistic situations in real time. Tutorials are not mandatory but highly recommended for students enrolled in the course.
