Course Logistics

For questions about course logistics, always consult the syllabus and Canvas page first! While I am happy to answer questions, these sources already address many FAQs.

Make sure to check all Canvas announcements, as I most commonly use these to convey course information (e.g. deadline changes, grades posted, etc.)
