Classes start on Monday January 24, 2022. RUSSA classes are 50 minutes long unless this schedule indicates otherwise (e.g, RUSSA 1132).
In Spring 2022, during the first two weeks of the semester, all RUSSA classes are taught online in the instructor's Zoom room. The Zoom links/IDs, etc. are shown below. To join your class when it is in session or is about to begin, click the teacher's link or click JOIN in your Zoom application, then type or paste the Meeting ID, then the passcode. After the first session, you should be able to select the meeting from the drop-down list of earlier sessions.
Our Zoom classes are taught in real time • in small groups • never pre-recorded • and are highly interactive. See Zoom under "Online course materials" on the left.
Enrollment: online in Student Center; if you have a time conflict that we can work around, fill out and submit this form.
Our offices are in the suite that includes Rooms 207, 211, 213 in Klarman Hall. (If you come in the main entrance, bear left, then turn right; we are on the street level.)
