Calendar

NOTES

I will update this calendar regularly with materials and some additional readings.

Beginning March 4, I will regularly post a playlist of tutorial videos for the upcoming week by each Friday. I will post the playlist as early as possible, but it could arrive by noon or a little after. If you subscribe to the playlist on YouTube, you will receive notifications when new videos become published. The playlist will demonstrate methods relevant to lectures of the upcoming week. Please plan to work through videos within one week of posting. Thank you.
