Fall-2020
Professors Jack Wisdom (EAPS) and Gerald Jay Sussman will teach
this class entirely online, with synchronous lectures on Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday at 1400--1500 EDT (2:00PM--3:00PM). We
will run our evening laboratory, each Wednesday from 1900--2200
EDT (7:00PM--10:00PM). We expect students to actively
participate in all of the meetings, so it may be difficult for
students who are in some time zones. If a significant number of
students want the hours to be modified, we will be happy to
adjust, as appropriate, (one advantage of online teaching is that
there is not a problem with allocating a classroom!) The times
can be renegotiated by the class in the first few meetings of the
term.
We also invite students individually and in groups to drop in
(online) to discuss problems with us at other times. We will try
to make ourselves very accessible in these strange circumstances.
