Online Lecture Livestream
- Lecture Livestream link -- Zoom Meeting
- Use this link to login during lecture time (MWF 9:15-10:05pm) to watch lectures live. You will need either a computer with audio output, or you can join separately by phone once you login to the meeting. You can install the zoom client or join the meeting directly from UTK's zoom website
- Lecture Q&A Link -- Slido Meeting
- During lectures, I will watch the live feedback from Slido to see if there are any questions or comments from any students. Using the above link, or going to sli.do and entering the event code #ECE581, you can submit questions at any time from an internet-connected device.
Office Hours
- In-person office hours are not allowed during the pandemic. During office hours, I will remain available to meet through Zoom, or the video conferencing features of the ECE 581 Slack channel. At any time you would like to meet, you may send me a direct messages received through Slack to begin a telecon. I will monitor the slack channel and my direct messages continuously; I will respond within ~5 minutes during designated office hours and within 24 hours outside of them.
Remote Collaboration
- The following resources are available for students to engage in peer-to-peer collaboration or discussion of course material (excluding exams). I will monitor all of these during scheduled office hours, and will try to check Slack and the discussion forum periodically outside of office hours. However, the primary goal of these tools is to facilitate students working together (imperfectly) replacing the ability to work together on homework assignments during traditional on-campus course delivery. Please use these resources preferentially over alternatives so that the entire class can engage together collaboratively.
