8/30: In-person learning today! Live Stream Links Are On the Help Page - FINALIZED
Exercises assigned today are due as noted. There is nothing to turn in for reading assignments, but there could be a quiz or writing assignment over that material. Online assignments are submitted electronically, and I anticipate that most of our assignments will be online.
You are encouraged to use my office hours (Zoom or in person) for help on the homework. However, you may not ask questions over homework on the day that the assignment is due.
Do NOT assume that any assignment beyond today's is correct! I often change them the day of class. When you see the word FINALIZED in the first line, I've reviewed the assignment, checked the links, and I'm reasonably confident that it will not change.
Help With HawkesLearning is Available Here
