The course features a virtual lecture eachweek and ten separate hands-on face-to-face activities that required different modes ofinstruction and involved different social distancing protocols. Furthermore, the course wasrequired to provide virtual accommodation for those students who chose not to return to campusor were placed in quarantine during some part of the quarter.
