WORKSHOP SCHEDULE

The workshop commences on Tuesday morning, June 2, 2009 and ends the afternoon of Friday, June 5, 2009. All activities connected with the workshop will take place in the Science Center. Each day is divided into sessions. Almost every session will utilize the computer. Some sessions will consist of lectures and group discussion while others will involve the participants breaking into groups to learn more about the software that is developed in the course or work through a course lab.

We will offer some optional excursions during the workshop.

A detailed (albeit tentative) schedule appears below. All sessions will take place in Science Center (SCA on the campus map) in Room SCA 216.
