Password: The password can be found on the course Canvas page.
The password cannot be published here because this is a public website. By school policy, to gain access to lecture, you will need to provide a password.
We strongly encourage you to attend the live lecture sessions where we will be working on problem solving. Our research has shown that students who attend the live sessions have on average almost an entire letter grade higher in the class. Participation in these events will result in full credit for the lecture portion of your grade.
