Real-time on-line teaching via Zoom to commence March 23 through end of semester.
     You can attend interactively at normal class time VIA THIS ZOOM ROOM LINK.
     Use the Chrome browser. Click the link before March 23 to auto-install Zoom and check it out.
     I will post a link to a video recording of each class within 24 hours at the bottom of this course page.
     My office hours will take place at the normal times VIA THIS DIFFERENT, OFFICE HOUR ZOOM ROOM.
     Please watch your email & this course page. If Zoom runs out of steam, I will post YouTube videos & send email.
     Assignment 2 / demo of progress that was due March 20 is now due March 27.
        Fill out this Peer Review (Word format) and get it to me by end of March 27. Here is a PDF copy if you don't have Word.
     Challenges now that we are going on-line:
        1. Equipment. That should be settled by March 23. You may have to adapt your project requirements. Check with your your teammates & profs.
        2. Sharing equipment across a team as needed. This also may entail changing requirements, unless there is a designated tester or redundant hardware.
        3. Demoing projects: Plan on using Zoom unless your Internet bandwidth is low. Record a video & post on YouTube is an alternative. I can run YouTube videos via Zoom.
     Again, THIS ZOOM ROOM LINK is where we will meet at class time. Click it ahead of time to install the Zoom app.
