Intro

This site catalogs some of the design choices I implemented as instructor of record for Physics 7A at UC Davis in Summer Session II, 2024. For each design choice, I explain briefly what the choice is, why I made it, when it was implemented, and how. I also plan to include short reflections on whether I would make that choice again, given the chance.
