Professor Saha (susaha@ucsc.edu) is standing in temporarily for Professor David Draper (who passed away in SP24). He has significant conflicts with the teaching schedule in Week 5 (Tue and Thu). To ensure that students get the required 6 hours & 30 minutes per week, he is proposing the following schedule:
First four weeks: Class meets T/Th: 9 am - 1:15 pm on Zoom (professor will make the link to the class available on Canvas - on the first day of classes)
Last Week (Week 5): Tuesday 11:00 - 12:15 PM (exam review; optional study sessions - no new topics taught)
Last Week (Week 5): Thursday Final Exam between 9 00 am - 1:15 pm (online final exam - proctored by TAs - all multiple choice final exam & short answer final exam).
