You can contact me, the course teacher, with any questions about the course via email: john.weston@aalto.fi
We will have all our meetings in Zoom. There will be a Zoom link below, and I will also email the link shortly before the first session. Download the Zoom client if you haven't already (search for "Aalto Zoom Quick Guide" for instructions if you are unsure). Please attend the Zoom sessions on a desktop or laptop with a webcam if possible. Earphones/buds or headphones will be useful. It would be nice to sometimes switch to mobile devices too, so you should also download Zoom onto your phone or a tablet if possible. Check that your internet connection is as good as it can be.
I'm looking forward to seeing you on Wednesdays and Fridays at 1230–1400. See you then!ZOOM LINK (18.11.2020) https://aalto.zoom.us/j/61659309304
