Are they important and/or helpful? Is it ok if I miss all the tutorials? Because ALL the tutorial sections are conflicting with my chemistry core sections...
(specifically math 2K03 and 2A03/2X03, I'm still deciding)
You'll be fine to miss them if you keep up with the readings and are practicing the problems on your own. Sometimes hints for assgnments or midterms are given in tutorial but you could ways go to your TA's office hours to see what you missed/get help and to pick up assignments.
Just make sure to go see your prof or TA if you are struggling and you won't really need the tutorials.
Nope there are no presentations, just written assignments which are questions either from the textbook or other questions found or made up by the prof. Other than that there are two miderms and a final exam for each course. I suppose it's possible your professor could change the format of the course but I think it should probably be the same as last year.
