Please make sure that you mark your calendar for classroom meetings (SCI 329), and for scheduled synchronous online meetings. Some online sessions will be synchronous and scheduled, some online work you can do whenever it works best for you (asynchronous). Check here frequently for updates. Be prepared for the possibility of becoming completely online sooner, in this case, all labs will be virtual.

Schedule

Aug 25, 27 Online

This week will be all Asynchronous- that means no scheduled time, just do these things according to the schedule that works for you, but do them this week. Probably not a good idea to wait until friday to do everything though, just sayin’.

Start with the ‘Introduction to an unusual semester‘ video:

  • Set up a Twitter account. Then post a tweet with a gif that best illustrates your state of mind right now (use the #InvertZoo hashtag). You can be funny or serious or angry or silly or happy or whatever you want, you can add your own words, make a poll, make your own meme, etc., there are no rules for this- just tweet something and follow the #InvertZoo hashtag to see what your classmates are posting. You can tag me if you like (@karencang) but don’t forget the #InvertZoo hashtag!
