This course will be offered in a hybrid online/lecture format. Every Monday, online course material will be posted to UR Courses for the week’s topic. You will have the flexibility to review this material and try the online exercises according to your schedule.
On Tuesdays during the assigned class time (11:30 – 12:45) an online question and answer session will be held using Zoom. Links to this session will be provided on UR Courses. You may join the session to ask specific questions about the material, or to just listen to what others ask. Note that there will be no online session on November 6; instead the midterm exam will be written in-person in the classroom (ED 623).
On Thursdays during the assigned class time (11:30 – 12:45), an in-person question and answer session will be held in the classroom (ED 623). Attendance is optional, but encouraged.
In order to make effective use of the online and in-person sessions, it is important that you review the online course material and try the examples in advance of attending the sessions. Doing so will allow you to identify areas where something does not make sense or where you need further explanations.

Students are expected to attend the labs in the lab session in which they are registered only. Attending a lab session for which you are not registered is not permitted due to space and resource limitations.
Lab attendance will be logged during each lab session; 1/5 of your lab mark is based on your attendance and active participation in the activities of the lab.

For example, if you are registered in the Wednesday afternoon lab, your lab assignment will be due at 11:55 PM on that day.
