-Sections 1 and 2 (Wang): will be taught in a hybrid manner. Students will be organized into two groups: Purple and Gold. Students in the Purple Group will attend the class in person on Tuesdays and students in the Gold Group attend on Thursdays. Students not in personal attendance will watch pre-recorded lectures of the same content. All assignments must be turned in electronically to Canvas. Office hours will be held electronically with tools like Zoom. Exams are tentatively scheduled to be in person, with one group in the classroom (ISAT/CS 140) and the other in the designated lab room (ISAT/CS 248).+Sections 1 and 2 (Wang) will be taught in a hybrid manner. Students will be organized into two groups: Purple and Gold. In the first few weeks, students in the Purple Group will attend the class in person on Tuesdays and students in the Gold Group attend on Thursdays. Students not in personal attendance will watch pre-recorded lectures of the same content. After students become more familiar with the teaching style of the instructor, this course will transition more toward online, with in-person meetings on Tuesdays only and groups take turns for them. All assignments must be turned in electronically to Canvas. Office hours will be held electronically with tools like Zoom.

 +Completely online. Short video lectures will be released frequently for asynchronous viewing. Two significant and open-ended projects will be assigned: a static website and a React app. Students will participate in weekly video chats with the teaching staff and a small group of their peers to critique projects. During scheduled lecture times, synchronous lab activities and office hours will be conducted over Zoom.  Students will set up and manage their own web servers and will need a reliable network connection and an SSH client. All work can be completed on personal machines or through the department's virtual machines. Other graded components are still being considered, but they will not depend on students being in a particular place at a particular time.
