Lo-Fi Prototype Examples

Octavia Butler, “Four Rules for Predicting the Future” (Essence Magazine, 2000)

This is a hybrid course. I’ve received a few inquiries about what exactly that means. What days of the week will be online, which will be in person?

Typically, the first lessons of each unit will be online. This will comprise an introductory lecture that will introduce the topic.

Then, subsequent sessions of that unit will be in person. These sessions will typically feature participatory and group-based learning.

Also, invited guests will present online.

This typically means that two sessions of any given unit will be online, with the remainder held in person.

You can find further details on a week-by-week basis in the syllabus.

Other factors may cause changes to modality (online->in person or in person->online).

Any changes will be posted as announcements in Slack, ideally no less than 24 hours before the session will be held.
