Online continuation of PHY1610H due to Covid-19 concerns

In accordance with the University of Toronto's decision to cancel in-person classes, we are moving this course fully online for rest of the term, using the SciNet's education site.

For the various aspects of the course, this entail the following changes.

• Lectures will be broadcast online instead of delivered in-person. The broadcast together with a chat to ask question, can be found on the course's website, in the "Chat" tab. The chat will be monitored only during the usual lecture times, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11 am to 12 noon.
• In-person office hours will be replaced with online office hours using the "Bb-collaborate" tool in Quercus, on Wednesday from 2 pm to 3 pm and on Fridays from 11 am to 12 noon.
• In addition, we encourage you to post questions on the forum on the course website. We will monitor the forums and if you pose a question by 4pm, we will do our best to answer it that day. Note that the forum is visible to all students, so you might get help from one of your fellow students as well.

What does not change is the following:

• You are still welcome to ask question via email to courses AT scinet.utoronto.ca.
• Recordings of the lectures will be available after the lecture, as they have been for all the lectures so far.
• Assignment posting and submission already went through the course's website and you all already have remote access to the Teach cluster, so there's no change in that respect either.
• Consequently, the grading scheme, i.e., the average of the grades of the ten online submitted assignments, will not change either.
