    NOTE: not all material on those exams was covered in our class and will not be on the 2023 final exam.
  • The main communication between the class and me will be through Moodle, since your work will be uploaded there. Once you are logged in https://wolfware.ncsu.edu to see your courses, click on the orange "m" to go to the Moodle boiler plate. (Clicking on the title takes you to this page). Individually, you can email me.
  • If I need to switch my lectures to on-line, I will use the Zoom client https://ncsu.zoom.us You can click Download client at bottom of page on your device (cell phone, laptop, computer). I will also post the ID in the Moodle Lecture 1 title. The website https://ncsu.zoom.us/j/<ID> where <ID> is the ID may work.
  • My office hours will be on Zoom, and I plan to post a recorded video. The times are listed on my schedule.
  • I plan not to record my lectures to Panopto. Instead, the Moodle web site has my 2021 Zoom lecture recordings which you can view. I plan to follow the lesson plans from 2021, so the Zoom recordings will match my in-person lectures. If you are wait-listed, you can watch those lectures once you are enlisted in the class.
  • I will require attendance for credit. You get credit by either A. signing the attendance sheet in class or B. go to Moodle and mark your attendance ``P'' (present). You have until 11:59pm on each day of each lecture to do so for that lecture. If you sign the attendance sheet, I will mark you "P".
