COURSE SCHEDULE OPTIONS *
This course involves three (3) hours of highly-interactive synchronous sessions every week. Full attendance at all of these sessions is expected and required.
To maximise the availability of this course, a number of sections will be offered for the February 2023, each with a different schedule for the three weekly synchronous hours. Each enrolled student will be in one (and only one) section for the entire term.
For this reason, we strongly encourage you to be as flexible as possible with identifying the sections that you COULD attend, even if they are not your preferred choice.
We will do our best to accommodate your preference. However, because we require a critical mass of students for a section to run, we cannot guarantee that all of the section options below will be offered.
