5.14. Start of Classes

TAs should contact the instructor they are working with *prior* to the start of classes. In the past we have had problems with TAs not being available until the first day of classes (or later!). This creates numerous problems, so please make sure you are in town and available to work at least a week prior to the start of classes.
