Virtual Learning

The class will be a flip classroom. I will post video lectures or assignments before class and during class we will have office hours. I will be available only through teams. I would like to keep emailing to a minimum to make sure that all questions get answered. If you have general questions, use the general chat. If you have specific questions, feel free to send me a message. Teams has a great feature to do screen sharing, FYI. If you are not available for class due to time zone issues, please reach out to make arrangements.

  • Online lecturers will be available before class
  • Check in periodically for updates on assignments and lectures
  • Office hours during class time
  • Install Microsoft Teams Desktop
