Week 1 (September 5 – September 10)



Tuesday, September 5   (6:30 P.M. – 7:30 P.M., GoToMeeting)
Optional Session
Online Office Hours / Lab Session
Every Tuesday evening, I will be holding an Office Hours / Lab Session using the GoToMeeting Platform. I encourage you to drop by to review solutions to recent Coding Assignments, to ask a question, to get help with your Coding Assignments, to get help with your Final Project, or just to say hello. Please use a headset when joining this session. Note that individual meetings may be arranged on other days and at other times. To arrange such a meeting, contact me via email. You may join the GoToMeeting session using this link.
Other Resources
  • Recording of Online Office Hours session There were no attendees for this session. I did record a short message of welcome. During the recording, I encouraged each of you to join one of our Online Office Hours / Lab Sessions soon. Unfortunately, the recording feature of GoToMeeting was not cooperating. As a result, this is a short, video-only recording.
