Move to WebEx/WebEx Teams
--
- There's a lot of pressure to keep FERPA info off non-GT hosted systems, so let's go ahead and make the move off Slack onto WebEx/Teams
- Any issues so far?

### Tasks
- [ ] Log in to WebEx/Teams if not already on (Everyone)

State of Assignments

- Per Provost's guidance, nothing due this week
- P3 - due 3/30
- HW7 - due 3/30
- P4 - due 4/3
- HW8 - due 4/3, to be released today

Video Lectures

- Lectures will be short, recorded videos (asynchronous)
- Dan will start recording this week
### Tasks
- [ ] Test out the lectures & give Dan feedback (2 people)
    - Krish, Stephanie, and Jacob M.

TA Office Hours
--
- Need to set up a process/procedure for online office hours
    - Probably some combination of Piazza posts + WebEx personal meeting rooms
    - Worth looking at: WebEx Training
        - Has breakouts & queues
### Tasks
- [ ] Establish and test a process for office hours for the rest of the semester (Sam, Katie, Stephanie)

Recitations
--
- Current idea: short, asynchronous videos (like lectures) paired with 3 rolling synchronous help sessions/Q&A on WebEx on Wednesdays
    - Session 1: 10AM EST - 11:30AM EST
    - Session 2: 3PM EST - 4:30PM EST
    - Session 3: 8PM EST - 9:30PM EST
### Tasks
- [ ] Create 5 minute video - high level overview of Project 4, mutual exclusion, & pthreads (J.T.,Lauren)
- [ ] Projects 3 and 4 Q&A (6 people, 2 per session)
   - This will be a good "dry run" of full-blown recitations starting this week
   - 10AM - Akhila & Jacob M.
   - 3PM - Lauren & Sam
   - 8PM - Jacob K. & Jessica 

Demos
--
- These will be through 1/1 WebEx meetings, in your personal room
    - Can still have demo slots on Canvas as usual, just have the location be the link to your personal meeting room
    - Have students test w/ https://www.webex.com/test-meeting.html
    - Can find your WebEx personal meeting room link at gatech.webex.com
    - Example: https://gatech.webex.com/meet/jmeyers35
    - Still 4 hours of slots per TA
- Since P3 was pushed back to 3/30, P3 demos will **mostly** take place week of 3/30
    - Let's have 1-2 people put up some extra slots at the back end of this week (Wednesday-Friday) to test out the process and iron out kinks
        - Jacob M., Shouen, Matthew
### Tasks
- [ ] Set up demo slots on Canvas for next week (Everyone)
- [ ] Set up some demo slots on Canvas for late this week (Jacob M., Shouen, Matthew)

Exam 2

- Pushed back to 4/7, scope will now include all of Parallel Systems (Ch.12)
- Need to establish format of Canvas/non-programming portion
### Tasks 
- [ ] Meet offline at earliest convenience and task out exam writing (Jacob M., Jessica, Lauren)
- [ ] Test out programming assignment draft (J.T., Harry)
- [ ] Autograding (just capture stdout & diff) (Lauren)
