Sections
Norms
The course treats Zoom just like a classroom. For any meeting that you attend, be sure to:
- Participate from a quiet space (and not from a bed, car, hammock, plane, or train), where can you listen and speak. If you participate from a more public space, just be sure you won’t be approached or disturbed by others while there.
- Be sure to participate with your camera turned on, using horizontal (not vertical) video, unless your circumstances don’t permit.
If unable to accommodate these norms for some meeting, please watch the recording (if any) thereof. And please forgive if the staff ask you to log out so that all attendees are those fully engaged!
Schedule
All sections are held online via Zoom. Per the syllabus, you are expected to attend sections live, one per week during the weeks that sections are held (sections are held within the first few days after a new lecture is released: early in the course, this is weekly; later in the course, this is every other week). A calendar of sections will appear below once times are set, and should be considered the definitive measure of the section schedule. Check the bottom of the calendar below for an indication of what time zone the calendar is displaying.
Sections have no limit and you can attend any one you’d like in a given week, but we grab via an API your name and email attached to your Zoom account when you sign into the meeting for attendance so be certain that you can be properly and uniquely identified, if you want credit for attending the section! (You are free to switch to a pseudonym, if you wish, during the section meeting itself!) One section per week will be posted after the fact for later review. This will happen sometime on Fridays of weeks when sections are held. Watching a recording of a section does not substitute for the section attendance requirement in the course’s syllabus.
The calendar below should be shown in your local time zone, you can confirm this by checking the calendar’s footer!
