How to use the EG1004 Web Sites

Introduction

There are two main Web sites: this site (http://egmanual.poly.edu) and the main course administrative Web site (http://eg.poly.edu).

This Web site will cover academic matters for the course, such as grading policies, lab descriptions, writing guidelines, etc. You should add this site to your "favorites" since you'll be accessing it frequently.
