This is a hybrid class with required in-person meetings. 60% of labs and all exams will occur in person. The dates of in-person meetings on campus will depend on the public health situation throughout the semester. MANDATORY live zoom meetings will occur during the remaining scheduled class sessions. To participate in this class, students must have a computer with reliable internet, webcam, and microphone. Cell phones and tablets won’t suffice.
