We agreed to change the time slot for the exercise.

It is from this week on 12.25-13.55(+break time).

Information about chapters in Hamilton (1994) and

Enders (1995) that we will cover in this course.

In Hamilton (1994) we will use material from

chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 17, 19.

In Enders (1995) this material is covered in chapters

1, 2, 4, 5 and 6.

Note that we do NOT deal with the whole material of

those chapters, but focus on the material that is

appropriate and useful for this introductory class.
