Information for students about fall 2020 classes being taught online instead of on campus due to the continuing COVID-19 pandemic.

This page has information for students about fall 2020 classes that will be taught online instead of on campus due to the continuing COVID-19 pandemic.  These classes were originally scheduled to be taught on campus. Please be aware that this information is subject to change.  No information is provided about classes that were originally scheduled as online in fall 2020 as these classes are not effected by the switch from on campus to online.  

Synchronous; course meets at specified times and the instructor delivers content in real-time.
Asynchronous; class materials can be accessed at any time.

    I would appreciate the opportunity to still have some sense of an interactive classroom, so will offer synchronous lectures & labs via Zoom (with of course all lectures uploaded, annotated, and available to any student at any time throughout the semester), I think I and many students would be helped by that.
