Calendar

I prefer to let Canvas provide the course calendar, since it can keep things up to date.

You can look at the Canvas Calendar (no Zoom?) and Canvas Summary (calendar list). A warning, these don’t seem to show the Zoom events (look at the Canvas Zoom List for that).

The Weekly Rhythm

  • On Tuesday there is a lecture (5:30-6:45) on Zoom
  • On two Wednesdays (3/9, 4/27) there are Exams
  • On Thursday there is a lecture (5:30-6:45) on Zoom
  • On Friday there is a survey
  • On Monday there is usually a workbook due (except for exam weeks)
