This outline is tentative and subject to change.
You may need to be on the university network (either for real or on the VPN) in order to access the lecture capture videos.
Readings are on a separate page.
Lectures in red are prerecorded.
You take a 30-minute quiz every other Friday, but the quizzes plus makeups wipe out a full 50-min lecture period each week. Also, when the projector system in the room was broken for one class period. Hence the need to include some recorded content.
