Zoom

We are using Zoom to conduct quiz sections, office hours, and lectures during the quarter.

Zoom is a separate application that you will need to install before using. You must have an account to use it. However, all UW faculty, staff, and students have Zoom Pro accounts already created for them.

Tutorial videos and other useful information about using Zoom are available on this page. In short, once you have installed the application, you should be able to log into Zoom by clicking on the "SSO" login option, which will direct you to a UW web page to sign in using your UW NetID.

Office Hours

While quiz sections and the lecture Q&A sessions are large group meetings, office hours are mostly intended to be one-on-one discussions with a staff member, or occasionally small group discussions. When you join the meeting you will be in a regular zoom room with others students. For individual discussions, a you will join a TA in a breakout room. We will use a "waiting list" spreadsheet to keep track of who is next.

Depending on the device you are using, you can use camera, voice, text chatting, and screen sharing to get your question(s) answered.

For specific details about how lectures and sections will be run using zoom, please see the this discussion. More information about how office hours will be run is on this page.
