In a similar fashion to CSS 501, this section is being taught in a hybrid style, with less face-to-face instruction than a typical course. This means that you will need to put in more time on your own, outside of class. Besides the normal amount of time you spend studying and reviewing the material, you will spend the additional two hours that you would have spent in class. For some, more time will be needed than in a traditional course.

I expect you to come to the in-class meetings prepared, having already read the material for each week. Besides programming assignments, weekly homework will make sure you keep up with the material. During class, I will address any difficulties you are having with the material as there will be plenty of time for you to ask questions. I will also give short lectures, demonstrations, and active learning exercises.
