Each day is a total of four hours online, broken into two 2-hour sessions. Please get set up in Elluminate a few minutes before the start time, paying special attention to the [[prep/2011/TeleConference|guidelines]] (especially about your session name and headphones). We will post links to recordings of each session to the course email list shortly after the conclusion of the session. Each day is a total of four hours online, broken into two 2-hour sessions.

== Tuesday, May 24 ==

Our goal on the first day is to get everybody comfortable enough in the notebook interface that they can begin to productively explore their own interests in Sage independently. So we will concentrate on basic use and the various ways to get help and learn more.  

Questions are encouraged! With that in mind, note that we have ample time for addressing questions that come up during the presentations. You should feel free to message in Elluminate anything that comes to mind, and we'll be sure to address as many as possible during the actual session.

Session Schedule: MAA PREP Workshop

Summer 2012

Each day is a total of four hours online, broken into two 2-hour sessions. Please get set up in Blackboard Collaborate a few minutes before the start time, paying special attention to the guidelines (especially about your session name and headphones). We will post links to recordings of each session to the course email list shortly after the conclusion of the session.

  • Session I: 8-10 Pacific, 11-1 Eastern
  • Session II: Noon-2 Pacific, 3-5 Eastern

Homework and Office Hours are listed after all the sessions.
