Policy Changes for Moving the Class On-Line

• Class Meetings
  • I plan to hold class meetings as normal. This might change, but I want to give it a try.
  • I will use this classroom for our class.
  • I expect you will probably
    • Listen/watch the demo
    • Minimize the zoom window
    • Pop up the excel window
    • Try the problem.
    • ASK QUESTIONS, this means you, I won't be able to see your faces and I can not tell if it works for you or not...
    • We might try some screen sharing if required.
  • I will try to record the live sessions.
  • If this does not work, I will go to pre-recorded sessions.
• Office Hours
  • My office hours are
    • MWF 9:00 to 10:00 AM
    • TR 2:00 t0 3:00 PM
    • I will be "in" or monitoring my virtual office during these times.
    • I am happy to meet with you outside of these times, but I will not be monitoring the zoom meeting.
      • Please contact me and we will arrange a meeting time or email.
  • On-Line Office
  • Be patient, I am not sure that I will notice when you come in the "room".
  • Also, Zoom kicks a meeting off after 45 minutes of inactivity.
  • If I don't get to you quickly, please send an email.
• Tests
  • These will be moved on-line.
  • They will be timed.
    • I will mail the class with the URL for the test at the beginning of the test.
    • You will submit the test via dropbox
    • They will be at the "normal" class meeting time.
    • I will take into account that you probably only have one monitor.
  • The course has two scheduled tests.
  • The first test will be Thursday March 26.
  • The second test is scheduled for April 21.
• Homework
  • Homework three is now due March 26.
  • I will give a few more homework assignments.
• Project
  • I forgot about the proposal presentation, we will just drop that. Everyone gets credit for that portion.
  • A progress report
    • This is tentatively due Apr 2. I think I will let that stand
    • It seems reasonable for you to have done some real summaries
    • You have a presentation due that day.
      • Let's give this a try virtually.
      • Build a 5 minute presentation
        • Discuss your data and what you are planning to do
        • Include any intermediate results.
      • Please email me a powerpoint slide show by that morning.
      • I will, in turn allow each of you to "share" your screen to give this presentation.
  • Final Presentations
    • We will do final presentations on 4/23 and 4/30.
    • I plan to use the same format as above, but we might need to change that depending on how the test session works.
    • You will have 15 minutes for your presentations.
    • We will finalize details later.
