Information Course Structure: Lectures and Labs |
|
Labs attendance
required, once a week in CBD 220 ·
Lab attendance is required for
all students, according to the section they are registered for. When you register for this course, please
pick the lab section that is most convenient for you. ·
Labs meet once a week with a TA
in CBD 220 (half a block North of University Avenue, across from Library
West). ·
If you are registered for the
Web lectures then the only thing that will appear on your schedule is the
Lab, but everyone is welcome to attend the live class anyway. ·
The first week of classes, the
TAs will be in lab only to provide information about the course. If you read all the information on this
page and the syllabus and watch the first online lecture, you do not need to
attend lab the first week. Lectures everyone
can watch either live or online ·
Attending Live Lectures will be taught
MWF 6th period in Norman 137 (350 seats).
You may also attend the taping during MWF 5th period in
Norman G520 (25 seats). Everyone is
welcome to attend the live lectures, even those who are registered for a Web
class. However, once the classrooms are
full, no other students will be allowed for safety reasons. ·
Watching Online Lectures: the 5th period lectures will be videotaped and available to
view online as streaming video the same day they are taught, usually around
1 pm. Everyone can watch the online
lectures, even those registered for the live section of the course. ·
Link for Online Lectures is posted in the course website in e-Learning. For the
first week of the semester it will also appear on this announcement page, but
after Drop/Add is over all the course content will be moved to e-Learning,
and only the Announcements will appear here.
