## Structure of Course

Our reading group will meet three times a week. A new discussion leader will lead our meetings each Wednesday, Friday, and Monday. The monday meetings will culminate with a visit from Jordan, David or Andrei to answer that week's questions, provide feedback, and so on.

## Homework

Doing exercises is very important in mastering this material. Ravi's notes contain many, many exercises. It's up to you to choose which problems to hand in. Ravi suggests that you choose a varied selection of problems that are personally interesting to you. You should hand in 6 written up exercises each Wednesday, starting September 8th. LaTeX'ing your solution is strongly recommended. Ask another grad student if you need help learning TeX.

We'll collect homework at our meeting, and distribute it to the grader. In fairness to our grader, no late homework will be accepted.

I encourage you to work together. You can email agrc@math.wisc.edu to contact the whole reading group to schedule problem solving sessions/ask questions/etc.

Discussion leaders are responsible for leading a full week of seminars, Wednesdays through Monday.

In the week before you are a DL:

1. Check Ravi's blog. Remember that notes are posted every two weeks. Get a feel for what we should be discussing during your week. Are we starting a new set of notes? Are we finishing the previous set?
2. Get comfortable with editing this wiki. Create the page for your week. The discussion leader is responsible for posting our comments, questions, and other thoughts in the wiki. Ask Lalit or David for help. Some formatting help is available here
3. Decide which sections we should read by the Wednesday, Friday, and Monday of your week. Note: We want to cover all sections that Ravi recommends. For example, if he says skip 2.7 Spectral Sequences, we should. Otherwise nothing should be left out.
4. Important: Email this schedule to reading group no later than Friday the week before you take over.
