Summer 2020 schedule

NOTE: All courses this summer will be online/remote, but in different ways:

• Meeting online at the scheduled time, so much like a regular class, but remote.
• Meeting mainly online at the scheduled time, but with alternatives (such as recorded classes) so that students who can’t show up online at that time can still take the class.
• Entirely asynchronous, with online learning activities that allow students to participate on a flexible schedule.
• Hybrid with some real-time online meetings and some asynchronous activities.

Please refer to the note on each course below to know which mode it will follow.
