A note on the transition to online teaching in 2020W:

All ACAM courses in Winter Term 1, 2020 (ACAM 250 and ACAM 300) and Winter Term 2, 2020 (ACAM320B and ACAM350) will be delivered online to align with UBC Faculty of Arts’ efforts in supporting the health and safety of our students, staff, and faculty. All the courses will have synchronous activities (for example, real-time lectures, group discussions, drop-in hours) and asynchronous components (for example, online modules and discussion forums), please plan your course schedule as you normally would with in-person teaching.
