Course outline Course videos from 2012 Copyright and other legal stuff Comments, questions, feedback? Don't wait for official course evaluations. Announcements (previous ones) Official course evaluation for 2012 - thank you for the many constructive comments. I've been in discussions with a number of people (Tom Marlin, Don Woods, and your feedback in the course reflection and this evaluation). Based on this there will be some major changes in 2013, and even more in future years to ensure it stays one of the best at McMaster University, and internationally. Thank you again for your hard work in this difficult and unusual course. All the best for 4W4 next term.
