FSCI INSTRUCTORS SCHEDULE – FSCI Schedule 

Instructor Courses/Meeting Information

There are two class periods of three hours each day (on Monday, the morning class period only will be two hours rather than three to allow a plenary session for introductions).  Morning (AM) classes run each day for the whole week (14 hours total). Afternoon classes run either Monday-Tuesday (MT), or Wednesday-Thursday (WT) (6 hours each). On Friday afternoon, there will a special plenary colloquium, where participants will have an opportunity to show off their work for the week through lightning presentations.  Coffee will be available throughout the day at the Institute of the Americas (IOA).  This means that you do not need to hold a break at a specific time during your class period as you and your students can get refreshments at any time during the day. 

There is a common lunch break between 12:30-1:15pm each day. Since meals are included for every student and instructor, the entire institute will take its lunch together. This allows for the kind of networking and mixing of ideas that make a Summer School like this so productive.

We have plenary events schedule each day for the early afternoon and evening. You can see these (and the rest of the schedule https://www.force11.org/schedule/.  Here is a summary of Instructors schedule:

On the  first morning, we will use the plenary introductory session to introduce students to our team of instructors and encourage instructors to say a few words about their course and their goals for the week. This is to help build the sense of community and let students see what is going on in the other classes.   If possible we would appreciate if one instructor from each course be present at the opening plenary to present.
