2. During those sessions, Dr. Schmidt covered the reading materials, conduct exercises and help with homework, and answer questions. There are additional video lectures and previously-recorded sessions available.
3. Online students who want to speak rather than type MUST use a headset when attending Elluminate sessions. Open microphones create feedback. Cheap headsets and typed questions both work just fine; webcam not required.
