Hybrid in-person day assignments

Courses designated as "hybrid", such as this one, have too many students to safely fit in the same classroom due to social distancing constraints. So, each of you will be assigned a day of the week during which you may attend in person if you so choose (recall that the syllabus allows you to choose your mode of participation). When you attend in person, be sure to bring a charged laptop and headphones as well as your mask.

The same Zoom link will be used for every class; see this announcement for the link.
