Lease/Return Phones Process

         To get the Google Developers Phone, you need a Lease Form

        You must pick up a lease form from the instructor during October 6-9 (either in the class or during office hours) since the lease form must be signed by the instructor (one lease form per phone per person)

For HWs, you must submit hardcopy solutions that are typed. Figures may be drawn by hand. Handwritten solutions will be returned without being graded. For each homework, please make sure each new problem solution starts on a fresh page, and that your name appears at the top of each sheet.
