Information will change. Please, revisit frequently.
Note
This class ends on Dec 15 and not earlier. Residential students are required to attend all Friday classes including those held in Dec. Missing such classes will result in grade reduction. We will implement a strict policy. Only for medical reasons a class can be missed. The reasoning for this is that residential students that did not attend classes regularly tend to do not as well in this class as their colleagues. As we want that you achieve your best we strongly advise to attend and give with this policy an additional motivating factor.
Students are required to maintain a class notebook in github in which they summarize their weekly activities for this course. This includes a self maintained list of which lecture material they viewed.
The notebook is maintained in the class github.com in your hid project folder. It is a file called notebook.md that uses markdown as format. While using md, you can either edit it locally and upload to github, or directly edit it via the git hub Web editor.
You will be responsible to set up and maintaining the notebook.md and update it accordingly. We suggest that you prepare sections such as: Logistic, Theory, Practice, Writing and put in bullet form what you have done into these sections during the week. We can see from the github logs when you changed the notbook.md file to monitor progress. The management of the notebook will be part of your discussion grade.
The format of the notebook is very specific and must follow these rules:
Please examine carefully the sample note book is available at:

Incomplete’s will receive a fractional Grade reduction. Example A will become A-, A- will become B+, and so forth. There is enough time in the course to complete all assignments without getting an incomplete.
Why do we have such a policy? As we teach state-of-the-art software this software is subject to change, not only within the course, but also after the course. As we may offer some services and only have access to the TA’s during the semester it is obvious that we like all class projects and homework assignments to be completed within a semester. Services that were offered during the semester may no longer be available after the semester is over and could adversely effect your planing. It will be in the students responsibility to identify such services and provide alternatives if they become unavailable. We try hard to avoid this but we can not guarantee it.
Furthermore once an incomplete is requested, you will have 10 month to complete it. We will need 2 month to grade. No grading will be conducted over breaks. This may effect those that require student loans. Please plan ahead.

The waitlist contains students that are unable to enroll in a section of a course. Students choose to add themselves to the waitlist. They are not automatically added, but choose to do so intentionally based on the status of the course. There are two reasons for students to be on the waitlist. The first, and primary, reason is that the class is already at the scheduled, maximum capacity. Since there are no seats available, the student can elect to add themselves to the waitlist. The second reason is that the students’ own schedule has a time conflict. This occurs when they are trying to enroll in a class that overlaps with the time of a class they are already enrolled in.
Students are moved from the waitlist to the regular section during a daily batch process, and not in real time. The process is not in realtime because the registrar receives many requests to increase capacity, decrease capacity, and change rooms. If the process were real time there would be a catastrophe of conflicts.
Students are moved from the waitlist in chronological order that they added themselves to the waitlist. If you are still on the waitlist there are no spaces free, the batch process has not run for the day, or the student in question has a schedule conflict.
Faculty are not able to selectively choose students from the waitlist.
How long does the waitlist process stay active?: The automated processing of the waitlist ends on THURSDAY morning, August 24th. At this time the waitlist will no longer be processed. Students on the waitlist at that time will remain on the waitlist, but remain there until the student decides to change their registration. Students may not do that, because they get assessed a change schedule fee.
Students tell me they still want to enroll after the first week of classes. How do they do this?
Beginning Monday, August 28th students begin to use the eAdd process to do a late addition of the course. The request is routed to the professor of record on an eDoc and the faculty will be notified via email. Faculty can deny or approve based on whatever criteria they wish to apply. If the faculty member approves, the eDoc is electronically forwarded to the Academic Operations office and we will approve the late add if the room capacity allows the addition, otherwise we must deny the addition because of fire marshal regulations. Many times, there are seats in a classroom/discussion/lab, but because other students have not officially dropped, enrollment is still at capacity.
After everything, a student that was unable to enroll in the class attended all year and completed all course work as if they had enrolled. Can the student get credit and can I give the student a grade?
Yes. There is a provision for a late registration - contact our office if this occurs. Students will be assessed a tuition fee at the time of late or retroactive registration.
Warning
degree seeking students have preference to take this class. If the class is full and degree seeking students are on the waiting list auditing and non-degree students will have to wait till all others have been able to enroll. IF space permits only than auditing and non degree students can enroll.
In case you like to audit the class or like to take it as part of a non-degree program the following applies:
Participation in the class is approved for non degree student and students that like to audit the class under the following conditions:
The classes are published online. Residential students at Indiana University will participate in a discussion taking place at the following time according to the information provided by the registrar.
The Monday class has been moved to Friday
Residential students participate in the official meeting times. If additional times are required, they have to be done on appointment. As online hours are reserved for online students, residential students should not use them till not all questions have been answered by online students.
We suggest that you let the TA’s know before you come, in order to make sure there are not too many people coming at the same time.
Residential students can also use the online student meeting times. However, in that case online students will be served first. It is probably good to check into the zoom meeting and identify if the TA has time. They will be in zoom.
If a meeting is needed with Gregor, this is done upon appointment Tue-Thu 10am - 2:30pm. TAs will figure out if a meeting is needed. Please prepare your questions ahead of time, and place them in Piazza first.
Using a doodle poll from the online students, we have identified the following times for the online meetings:
