Detailed Weekly Assignments 2021 – Prof. Richard C. Taylor

Website in development in some parts

Marquette students take note: Students have been formed into 6 teams by way of a random team generator. These are the MU student teams: (1) LeMoine, Noonan, Cashman; (2) Kuhn, Miller, Hildeman; (3) McKevitt, Quesnel, Korchowsky; (4) Wimbly, Lang; (5) Plested, Paffenroth; (6) Friesner, Yang.

This course is taught wholly via Microsoft TEAMS. On the first day, I ask all students to try to connect at 8:45 am so we can resolve any connection difficulties before the start of class. After that, the regular connection time will be 8:55 am. For each class at 8:45 I will send a link via email though all of you will be able to connect via your own TEAMS enrollment.
