Editor's Notes
- #3: First, I’m going to give you an overview of the course and show you the work flow – which represents a typical week of study. Then I’ll ask my lovely students to unmute themselves one by one to talk about a few topics which I’ll introduce a bit later on, and finally I’ll share some of the alterations I made to the course so as to be better prepared to teach it online. In fact, MIC did not go online this semester. We’ve been able to teach face to face for the whole term so far, but we’re ready to go back to the zoom class environment at any time if called upon to do so.
