 Lets talk a bit about how labs and sections work in cs109:
-
+This is test
 1. Lab Notebooks are made available every Thursday evening.
 2. Lab Videos (which may not cover everything in the notebooks) are made available every Friday as well
 3. In sections starting Monday morning, and running upto the next Friday, your TA will present part of the lab to you. You ought to have looked at and perhaps tried the lab over the previous weekend, and your section might reach a consensus on what you'd like your TF to focus on: please communicate this.
