Notes on Session Delivery Methods:

In-Person: Sessions held on campus without the option to join remotely via Zoom. Attendance is required in the physical classroom.
Multimodal: The instructor will be on campus, and students may choose to attend either in person or online via Zoom. However, in-person attendance is encouraged, as the instructor cannot actively monitor Zoom for questions during the session.
Remote: Synchronous online sessions conducted exclusively via Zoom, allowing real-time interaction between students and the instructor.
Online: Fully virtual sessions conducted asynchronously, with pre-recorded videos accessible on the course website. There are no live meetings on campus or Zoom.
