  • Scribing Information

  • Scribing Schedule.
  • Your scribe notes are due one week after the lecture. (If notes are consistently late I reserve the right to deduct points for the scribe notes.)
  • You should write all of your notes in latex. I will try to have a latex reference book on reserve in the library. You can use the program xfig to make your postscript figures.
  • If your scribe notes are based on scribe notes from previous years, then make sure that you credit all previous scribes by putting their names in a footnote.
  • Here is one sample scribing of lectures: sample1.tar. (To untar, type "tar -xvf sample1.tar".)
  • Here is the template for scribing: template.tex.
