This is a face to face delivery class, and we plan to meet in person at Huntsman Hall 270 every Friday. However, we are the midst of a pandemic so we may revert to Zoom. If needed, we will be using the same Zoom Link for every class.

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 unstructured discussion based on the reading and lectures, as well as exercises to explore specific concepts in more detail and do group work. Class will be pretty dysfunctional and hard to follow if you don’t watch the lectures ahead of time.
