Yes, this semester will be entirely online. No, it’s not ideal for anyone. Still, we will try to make the best of it!

It is imperative to your success in the course that you familiarize yourself with all the links on this site to the right of this post (or below all posts on mobile).

General information:

Lectures will take place each class day (Tuesday, Thursday) at 9:30am on Zoom, regardless of your scheduled section time. Yes, that means that if your section is scheduled at 5:30pm, you will not actually attend live class at that time, because 5:30pm is not 9:30am. The only live lecture of the day is at 9:30am. You are encouraged to attend that session; if that is not possible, please view the recorded lecture as soon as possible and no later than 24 hours after the start time.

“But I have another class/work/something else at 9:30am! What do I do?”

All students must complete initial registration for the Zoom sessions. Use your real name for the registration process. Names may differ from Blackboard but cannot be anonymous: Elizabeth Jones can register as “Liz Jones”, but not as “Pikachu95”. You only need to register once, and may then attend all the scheduled meetings. The meeting ID is 923 9602 4771. The password is 809763.

In order to raise your hand on Zoom, click Participants, then Raise Hand.

Do you have to turn on your camera? Please do. Especially in our current environment of prolonged isolation, seeing groups of your peers in class can be motivating and comforting for everyone. There are no deductions, however, for choosing to keep your camera off. 

All assignments (BOS test, write-ups, homework discussions, midterm, final paper) will take place on Blackboard. See individual instructions for each assignment.

Office hours are on Zoom, by appointment, on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 2:30pm-4:00pm. That meeting ID is separate from the lectures: 917 2573 0315. Other times may be available; email to request an appointment.
