In the first week

There are several things you’ll need to do at the start of the course to get set up with all the technology, accounts, and services we’ll be using. I’ve split these tasks up into several chunks so it’s a bit more manageable.

6. Get Familiar with the course pattern.

It is my intention to establish a “course pattern” where the only thing that changes from week-to-week is the specific content we’re learning that week. Otherwise, the pattern of videos, homework, class activities, tests, etc. will remain the same. Go through the “Sample Week” on the course website to get familiar with the course pattern, and some motivation for why we are doing things this way.

7. Complete the first Learning Log (LL01) on PrairieLearn.

Once you’re done everything else in the week and after the last class of the week, you should have access to the first Learning Log. This assignment will help you get familiar with answering “Learning Log” questions and tasks on the PrairieLearn platform. I will respond to your learning logs over the weekend, and next week, show you how to access your feedback.
