Lectures
- All lecture and lab background material will be recorded. Lecture and lab time will involve active learning (e.g., group breakouts to work on labs or problem sets).

Exams

The 24 hour period will be the same in all time zones, but as 24 hours everyone will have an equivalent amount of daytime to complete the exam irregardless of their time zone. Both will be take-home and open book.
