Student Expectations / Classroom Policies:

  • There will be lectures in each day. Students are expected to take notes and to try problems given.
  • The class is structured to have approximately 30 minutes of teaching, 40 minutes of working on problems and 20 minutes of Q & A. Students are expected to be online with camera on during the entire time and be engaged.
  • Students are expeccted to login during the first 5 minutes of class so that we can utilize the full 1 hour and 30 minutes of class.
