4.2 Class Progression

Each lecture will be broken down roughly the same way. Students are expected to arrive having already completed the previous week’s work as well as the assigned readings and lecture prep. Class will begin with any relevant “front matter” including follow-up from the previous weeks and relevant announcements. When assigned, we will then segue into a discussion of the Wheelan text before spending the majority of class focused on the day’s main topic, which will typically be related to one or more of the first three learning outcomes. Around 6:00pm, we will take a short break. Most classes will end with time dedicated to working through the lab exercise. After class, students are expected to finish the lab and, if necessary, the assigned problem set as well.
