Class meeting times
MGH
242, Tues Thurs 10:30-11:50.
We will sometimes be meeting jointly with the Introduction
to Urban Simulation course, in Thompson
135.
The two
courses meet on the same days and times. Please be sure and check
the course
calendar below to see which days we'll meet in Thompson. After the
first couple of weeks, the class may not always meet
as a
whole every Tuesday and Thursday; instead, we'll use the class meeting
times for the instructor to meet individually with the different
project teams.
