Makeup Lectures

The University automatically assigns makeup lecture times for the course. These are to be used in the event that the Instructor has to be out of town or some unexpected event happens.

I recognize that these times may be challenging for some students to attend. Effort will be made to do lecture recording for any makeup lecture times used.

Not expected to be used:

Monday May 25
Monday June 15
Monday July 6
Monday July 27
