The RoundTable format.
Members will enter the meeting on mute.
The session will begin with a mini-lecture on the topic by the Instructor.
We ask participants to mute their mic during this segment.
During the lecture segment, use the Chat function on Zoom to write down any questions that pop in your head.
After the lecture segment, the Instructor will review the questions in the Chat and open the RoundTable to discussion by the participants.
An Instructor may email a handout before class to define the discussion or suggest a “homework” to try out a technique that will be discussed during the RoundTable.
Please remember that a RoundTable is an academic discussion. We ask that all participants stay on topic and respect the opinions of other participants.
Zoom link will be sent in receipt for class registration.
