Activities
Lectures: Lectures will be in-person during regularly scheduled class times. Lectures will be recorded and recordings should be available by the end of the day on the canvas panopto page for the course. Slides will be posted in advance, usually the night before class (see the course calendars for links). You can "attend" either lecture regardless of your official registration; we will try to keep the two lectures in sync so the particular lecture chosen shouldn't make a significant difference. We highly recommend attending lecture in person. Experience has shown that being engaged and focused live, in class, without other distractions results in better learning and a more successful outcome in the class.
Sections: Meeting in person on Thursdays. See the university course calendar or your myuw page for exact times and locations. Sections are intended for small group work and interaction and are not recorded.
Office Hours: Will be a combination of in-person, zoom, and hybrid. See the course calendar for exact times and locations. Links for remote and hybrid office hour meetings are on the course canvas calendar only.
