You are encouraged to try as many of the exercises as possible from each of the sections covered in class, and I will be happy to discuss any of the exercises beyond those included on this list.

Additionally, make sure that you're keeping up on the journal writing. I'm looking for 1-2 entries a week on things we do in class that you find interesting. (You'll find that I drop frequent suggestions in class).
