Participation

Online, but remote—meaning it is synchronous, and attendance is required on Friday and Saturday, April 22-23. The course cannot be completed as an asynchronous course, so make sure that you make arrangements to attend via Zoom, or drop before the course begins, if you were expecting an asynchronous format. No exceptions.

50 pts possible
