professor in the department of

4
00:00:06,930 --> 00:00:11,580
integrative biology when you finally do

5
00:00:09,179 --> 00:00:13,980
open up your laptop or your desktop or

6
00:00:11,580 --> 00:00:16,199

that they need to deliver a really good

10
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:25,230

younger generation when I was in school

15
00:00:32,250 --> 00:00:36,210
staring at the screen the whole time

16
00:00:34,380 --> 00:00:38,340
doing nothing you're essentially going

17
00:00:36,210 --> 00:00:40,620
to be reaching into your screen and

18
00:00:38,340 --> 00:00:42,480
reaching out for other people to come to

19
00:00:40,620 --> 00:00:43,739
this like common understanding of

20
00:00:42,480 --> 00:00:45,899
learning that we're going to be engaging

21
00:00:43,739 --> 00:00:48,270

we form groups of about 25 to 30 will be

27
00:00:59,190 --> 00:01:04,320
available for virtual office hours it

28
00:01:02,129 --> 00:01:06,030

29
00:01:04,320 --> 00:01:07,950
two hours during the week to ask

30
00:01:06,030 --> 00:01:09,510

take high-resolution GigaPan images and

35
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:24,960

36
00:01:22,530 --> 00:01:26,509
