Due to the unusual circumstances this Spring, we are readjusting the schedule and expectations for the remainder of the course. At this point, you have completed:
We postponed the deadlines for Homework 6 and Moodle quiz 6, which were scheduled for the week of March 9.
Here is the plan for the remainder of the course. As you know, we had three topics left to cover, which we were able to get a little hands-on intro with during our last in-person meetings. I will be providing around 3 short (10-20) minute videos for each topic, with a Gradescope worksheet to help you engage with the material. There will be 3 homeworks, 3 moodle quizzes and 1 final (take-home, open-book, open-notes) exam.

One choice includes the creation of a remote learning module in lieu of some homework and exam questions. There are more details about this below, but I'll start with the Schedule for the final weeks of class.

mostly consistent with original Syllabus, making it final exam-heavy
same requirements as Option 1, more balanced exam work
reduced homework/exam questions & lowered exam weight in exchange for a remote lesson plan
The remote lesson plan should be a self-contained remote lesson with an interactive component. This could take the form of:
Your remote lesson plan should be in a topic (list in form below); you can still choose to work with 1 or 2 other students.
