Schedule

The workshop will run from Monday, June 2 through Friday June 6 and is a full day each day. I will try to make the last afternoon primarily a review/project/question answering session for those who need to leave early to catch a flight out.

We will start around 9am each day and will have a morning break for coffee and snacks. There will be lunch provided by our hosts at Marist college around 12:30. There will be an afternoon break to make sure we are all still awake and then I will try to wrap up around 4:00 so you have plenty of time to check emails.

Please plan to check email and make phone calls during breaks. I will also request that you either turn off IM or at least mark yourself as not available. I tend to have to move fairly quickly through the material so if you get distracted for 10 minutes you may get lost.
