36L: LEC0101: MWF11: Online Synchronous 20P: M1-3/M3-5/T10-12/T1-3/T3-5/W1-3/W3-5/W6-8/R10-12/R12-2/R2-4/F9-12/F2-4: Online Synchronous Lectures will also be available asynchronously. For the Practicals, these will be partly doable asynchronously, but there will be a portion for which synchronous participation is required. Students are required to participate in synchronous midterm assessment quizzes online on Tuesday evenings from 8:10-8:40pm, Toronto time. All students are expected to clear their schedules at these times. If a conflict is unavoidable, individual accommodations will involve a scheduled private make-up quiz of the same duration and difficulty level, delivered by the instructor or one of the TAs via video teleconferencing software. During these make-up quizzes, students will be required to have their camera and microphone on, in order to show a T-card and provide answers orally, and the invigilator may ask follow-up questions in real time.
