This is a face to face delivery class, and we plan to meet in person at LSB 225A every Wednesay. However, we are the midst of a pandemic so we may revert to Zoom. We have one remote student, so we will be using the same Zoom Link for every class.

We have one remote student, and a remote instructor for first month. so we will be using the same Zoom Link for every class to facilitate their participation.

Rough Plan:

Lectures are all pre-recorded and you will watch them prior to class on YouTube for each module. Our class meeting times will be a mix of structured and unstructred discussion based on the reading and lectures, as well as exercises to explore specific concepts in more detail. Class will be pretty dysfunctional and hard to follow if you don’t watch the lectures ahead of time.
