As usual, I'm offering both an online, Zoom, and an in-person, Arsht Hall, version of this course. Both classes are exactly the same, only the format is different--for those of you who prefer the convenience of online and those who would rather meet in person.
Online: Wednesdays, 10:45 to 12:00 noon (our usual time)
In-person: Thursdays, 12:45 to 2:00 (a new time for us, check Arsht Hall bulletin boards for specific room)
