At the start of the Spring 2022 quarter, it is important to recognize that this continues to be a trying time for all of us, in all areas of our lives – school being just one. Your safety and well-being (including mental and emotional well-being) are our highest priorities and we will try to be as flexible and adaptable as we can while moving through this academic quarter together.
Unlike the previous two years, this course and office hours will be in-person. In addition, We will be using a number of collaborative resources (Canvas, Zoom, Piazza, etc) to help create an online course community and facilitate learning beyond classes and office hours.
Assignment, assignment, assignment. Doing the assignments is most important for your learning in this course. There will be one assigned every week (and due the following week – see the course syllabus for details and policies). Necessary background for each assignment will be provided via pre-recorded lectures, course notes, and other resources as specified. The lectures will be a combination of in-person classroom lectures (will be recorded in class) and shorter, focused, tutorials. In addition, when each assignment is released, I will do a walkthrough of it. Office hours throughout the week will be available for you to ask questions. You can also ask questions on Piazza.
