The course consists of the following materials:
- Videos. The lectures are delivered via videos, which are broken into small chunks, usually between five and fifteen minutes each. There will be approximately one and a half hours of video content per week. You may watch the lecture videos at your convenience. Lower-resolution videos are also available for those with slow internet connections.
- Slides. We have made available pdf files of all the lecture slides.
- Quizzes. There will be non-graded short "quiz" questions that will follow some of the videos to help you gauge your understanding.
- Online Lab Exercises After some of the videos, we will ask you to go online to play some games. These are entirely optional, and are designed to illustrate some of the concepts from the course.
- Problem Sets. There will also be graded weekly problem sets that you will also answer online, but may work through offline; those must be completed within two weeks of the time that they are posted in order to be graded for full credit. If you miss a problem set deadline, you may complete it before the end of the course for half credit. You may discuss problems from the problem sets with other students in an online forum, without providing explicit answers.
- Final Exam. There will be an online final exam that you will have to complete within two weeks of its posting. Once you begin the exam, you will have four hours to complete it.
- Screen-side Chats. A couple of times during the course, we will hold a brief online chat where we answer questions and discuss topics relevant to the course.
Time Commitment
About 2 hours a week to watch the videos, complete the quizzes, and post online.
