Schedule

The pace of the class is guided by student mastery and interests. There can be minor changes in the schedule. Please review the materials before each meeting. Slides are accessible via your NC State email if you are enrolled. Access requests are unnecessary as the slides are already shared with your NC State email.

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.
