Course logistics

Nicky Wakim

Important note

I will NOT be in the country from 7/2-7/22
I will be present on our Slack from 7/13-7/17, but otherwise I am on vacation
- I can potentially take meetings during 7/13-7/17, but I’m in a flipped time zone eek!
I’ve asked my colleagues, Meike and Jessica, to manage our Slack page while I’m gone

I can hit the copy button and paste it!

A video might reference something you haven’t covered yet
- For example: I mention an “object” in the lesson on functions, but we don’t cover objects until the next lesson
- I will always try to group videos that mention new material in a week together

A “new” week starts on Monday
You will need to watch the videos set in the week
At the end of the week, there is a practice due Sunday night at 11pm
- This will cover the videos for that week!
Some weeks will also have labs due on Sunday night at 11pm
- Labs will cover material from previous week(s)
- Labs will not cover that week’s material

Slack will be the BEST place for asking questions!
- This way your peers can help you and you can help your peers!
- I will also answer questions on Slack!
I usually take up to 24 hours to respond (during M-F)
- I don’t work on the weekends!

Join the Slack page!

	Theme	Each lesson fits into a different theme for the class
	Lesson video	I record our classes. This will be a link to the OneDrive folder containing this recording.
	Slides	These are the basic slides that will open in your browser.
	Textbooks	There are two textbooks that will be helpful. They are not necessary, but it might be nice to learn from a different voice.
	Due dates	At the end of each week, there are highlighted assignments with their due dates
