EPS 88 Fall 2020¶
Video 1, Welcome to EPS 88 and class tools tour:
This semester EPS 88 will be slightly different from past iterations. Instruction will be completely remote and almost all asynchronous. We have several tools to facilitate this:
The bCourses site. This will be your home base where you will find the syllabus, important links, announcements, and reading quizzes. There will be a Module for each week of the semester where you can find the pre-class, during-class, and after-class work.
The course digital textbook. This is where you will find the pre-class reading and video assignments. You are Here!
The course OK site. This is where you will submit your Jupyter Notebook assignments.
Each week’s module workflow will consist of:
mix-media reading and video content the student will read and watch before the class meeting
a low-stacks concept check quiz covering the material from the reading/video assignments
a Jupyter notebook we will work through together during the weekly class zoom meeting (Tuesdays noon-2pm)
a Jupyter notebook homework* assignment (* yes, all the work is homework)
We’ll schedule a weekly “office-hour” zoom opportunity to for students to ask questions, but please, post your questions to the class discourse discussion pages. We will answer questions there for the benefit of everyone.
