Participation in live or async lecture is optionally worth 3% of your overall grade. We'll compute it both ways and take the higher. You can max out this credit even if you miss a few lectures.

Lecture Policy
Async Option
Self-paced, interactive online lectures.
Recordings of live lectures are posted online in case you miss one or want to review.
Our Course Notes serve as a textbook and companion to lecture.
Lab Attendance (Required)
Labs are in-person exercises completed in small groups. Course staff facilitate lab sessions and are available for questions. Lab attendance is required for credit.
Please try to register for a section you can attend. We'll circulate a survey near the start of the term where you can report any unresolvable scheduling conflicts.
