Course Outline, Spring 2021
Due to Covid 19, there will be no face-to-face lectures nor labs this term (Spring 2021).
Lectures will be pre-recorded and made available through VIULearn. Typically, lectures will be posted to VIULearn on or before the scheduled time of the lecture (on Mondays and Wednesdays before 1:30pm). The first lecture is scheduled for Monday January 11.
Each course section has a scheduled lab time. Labs will be held virtually using Zoom. I will email you my Zoom contact information before the first lab. You can use the same contact information for Zoom meetings throughout the term. The first lab is scheduled for Monday January 18.
