Hi Class, So, this coming week, we are pivoting to Online for Mid-Term conferences (no in-person class!). We will be meeting for individual conferences via Zoom, and posting our Opinion-piece brainstorms, and commenting, here on OpenLab. I am looking forward to reading your ideas and seeing you, albeit from afar!

I apologize for the delay. I now have a spreadsheet with 10-minute increments for conferences to discuss your Mid-Term Grades and progress here:

(The above spreadsheet has within it further Zoom Links for joining.)

I won’t make these conferences mandatory, but I strongly suggest them if you want to do well. Mid-Term grades are pretty cryptic (“P” = Passing; “BL” = Borderline; “U” = Unsatisfactory), and meeting with me face-to-face, however briefly, will help.

Note: There is a chance that I may need to see a dentist, STAT, this week, so if that occurs during your scheduled conference time and I need to cancel, I will let you know via email. Again, apologies for the delay, and I thank you for understanding!  -Prof. S.
