As you may have seen, there has been a sudden increase in the number of covid-19 cases reported on campus this past week. (The most recent data is available on the University dashboard.)
With this in mind, our class will move 100% online for the next two weeks. I hope this will be temporary and that we will be able to resume in-person meetings in two weeks.
In order to avoid confusion, we will maintain the same structure for our course.
Please let me know if you have any questions regarding these changes. I hope they are only temporary and that we can meet in person again in two weeks.

Create a WebAssign account today! Your first orientation assignment is due on Friday, September 4. A Quick Start Guide to WebAssign is available to help you get started.
Our first meeting will be tomorrow, Wednesday, 2-2:50 by Zoom. The link for the meeting has been sent by email. Please be sure that your Zoom name is recognizable as your registered name for the course.
As announced previously, our Wednesday meetings will be held virtually over Zoom, and our Thursday and Monday meetings will be in-person (1/2 the class at a time; recitation sessions supporting the lecture material) in our assigned classroom, Room 410 in the Nursing and Health Studies Building (NHS). I have split the class in two, alphabetically:
All lectures will be pre-recorded and posted online via DropBox. Links to the lectures for each week's material will be posted on the course website, on the Lecture Outlines page.
We will have class meetings three times per week. Since all new material will be contained in the recorded lectures, we will run our class meetings as recitation sections, focusing on doing practice problems similar to those assigned for homework.
I will split the class into two groups, Group A and Group B. Group A will attend class on Thursday of each week, and Group B will attend class on Monday of each week. This will allow us to keep an appropriate distance in the classroom with only about 10 students in class at one time. On Wednesdays, we will meet via Zoom and the full class should be in attendance virtually.
The in-person sessions on Mondays and Thursdays are not required. If you feel more comfortable learning at a distance and not entering the classroom, you do not have to attend the in-person classes. However, you should still attend the Wednesday Zoom sessions, watch all the videos, and attend office hours by Zoom when you have questions.
After Thanksgiving, there will be no in-person classes, and all classes will be held virtually on Zoom.
Students should be aware that depending on the progress of cases of Covid-19 on campus and in the community, the class may be moved entirely online on short notice at any time during the semester.
