A Note to Instructors

I hate having to write this kind of note due to a few bad apples. The material here is available (as it says at the bottom of the wiki page) under a Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License. This includes the linked homework assignment descriptions (strictly speaking, the HW assignments are under an even more restrictive copyright, but with this declaration, I am hereby making them available under CCASA). This kind of license means you have certain responsibilities if you want to use this material in your course. Please abide by them. I'm happy to share content publicly (which is the whole reason this material is on the UofC wiki in the first place).
