Important Information About This Class:

This is a Hybrid class using both online synchronous and asynchronous delivery. There are weekly online synchronous sessions conducted and recorded, starting January 15 on Thursdays from 5:30-7:30pm. There are also REQUIRED in-person exam sessions in the classroom, Lindley 285, Santa Rosa campus on 02/26, 04/16, and 05/21, from 5:30-7:30 pm in Lindley 285 on the Santa Rosa campus. Live attendance is required for the synchronous course meetings, and you are welcome to attend optional in-person for the lectures and labs as your schedule permits, in Lindley 285 on the Santa Rosa campus. We have found that students are much more successful when attending in-person and strongly encourage you to do so as much as possible. For further information, contact instructor: Ying Lin at ylin@santarosa.edu. All resources, textbook and homework in this section are free to students.
