- Beyond my official duties, I developed a lengthy study guide (parts 1; 2; and 3a and 3b). I created the guide by greatly expanding a similar but much shorter document written by a previous TA. (Though, in the guide, I credited Don Allers as the author, I more than doubled the length of his document and improved the exposition.)
