Editing Statistics and Statistical Programming (Winter 2021) (section)

== Expectations for synchronous remote sessions ==

The following are some baseline expectations for our synchronous remote class sessions. I expect that these can and will evolve. Please feel free to ask questions, suggest changes, or raise concerns during the quarter. I welcome all input:

* All members of the class are expected to create a supportive and welcoming environment that is respectful of the conditions under which we are participating in this class.
* All members of the class are expected to take reasonable steps to create an effective teaching/learning environment for themselves and others.

And here are suggested protocols for any video/audio portions of our class:

* Please mute your microphone whenever you're not speaking and learn to use [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Push-to-talk "push-to-talk"] if/when possible ([https://www.howtogeek.com/662101/how-to-enable-push-to-talk-in-discord/ Discord supports the feature]).
* Video is optional for all students at all times, although if you're willing/able to keep the instructor company in the video channel, it would be nice.
* If you need to excuse yourself at any time and for any reason you may do so.
* Children, family, pets, roommates, and others with whom you may share your workspace are welcome to join our class as needed.
