Dear all,
Thanks for kicking us off with a great meeting earlier today! It sounds like all of your courses are off to a great start, thanks to your efforts :)
See here for the recording <https://harvard.hosted.panopto.com/Panopto/Pages/Viewer.aspx?id=cce4770b-3f…> and the meeting notes <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CAvdg5kdKTgyGJZUbI4_KxNGjzy4YoaL5DkRyBd…>.
Several of you mentioned having issues accessing the Disability Access Office’s AIM tool <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__sierra.accessiblelearn…>. If you’re having problems, here are some troubleshooting steps:
Make sure your head course instructor has emailed dao(a)fas.harvard.edu to request that you have access to the tool.
Once the DAO confirms you have access, click “faculty login” in the top right corner of the DAO website <https://dao.fas.harvard.edu/>. (The link I gave you in the course startup checklist might be incorrect; my apologies!)
If you still can’t access the faculty portal, please email dao(a)fas.harvard.edu to explain the issue and cc me.
Don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions — I’m always happy to help!
My best,
Wyatt

Dear all,
I hope that you are enjoying the last week of winter break, and are excited for the start of classes next week! I’ve really enjoyed meeting with each of you over the past two weeks. — your teaching teams and students are lucky to be working with you. Please see below for a few updates about the Course Administration Working Group:
(1) Bi-Weekly Meetings: Thanks for providing your availability! By far the most popular time was Mondays at noon. We’ll meet every other Monday from 12:00 PM - 12:30 PM on Zoom <https://harvard.zoom.us/j/99887173359?pwd=SGh2UVQ4K1R5eXh6RkRZRytJVDd2UT09>, starting Mon, Jan 29. I just sent you a calendar invite with full details. If you can’t make this time, please let me know.
(2) Email List: This list includes the following people:
Undergrad Education Team members: Gregg Tucci, Lu Wang, George O’Shea, Wyatt Hurt
Head TFs and PSL Coordinators for large courses (PS11, Chem 20, Chem 27, Chem 40, Chem 166, Chem 170)
TFs for smaller courses (Chem 154, Chem 161, Chem 171, Chem 245, Chem 255, Chem 301)
Please always feel free to email the list (ccb-course-admin(a)lists.fas.harvard.edu <mailto:ccb-course-admin@lists.fas.harvard.edu>) with questions or to share resources. The work of running courses is much easier when we collaborate as a team :)
(3) Placeholder Sections: If applicable, try to move all students out of your course’s placeholder by the end of this week. Continue to monitor the placeholder section until the end of the Open Add/Drop Period (Mon, January 29). After January 29, students will no longer be able to change their own section; only TFs can change section enrollment using the my.Harvard sectioning tool <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Q6aVtbDcWQkEgDMBombn6V1SDyGLU-MUk98sSCI…>.
(4) Section Rooms are posted in the my.Harvard course catalog. It’s possible (though unlikely) that rooms might change. We’ll send you an email if that happens.
(5) Printing: As discussed in more detail in the startup checklist I shared with your individual courses, there is a copier/scanner that you can use in Science Center Room 210c (pick up a key from George in Mallinckrodt Room B22). Alternatively, you can use Flashprint. There are two possible delivery locations you can provide in your instructions to Flashprint:
Science Center Room 210c (secure location; Flashprint has a key)
Counter outside Pfizer Lecture Hall (see picture below; there is a sign that says “Flashprint Deliveries"). Note that this is not a secure location, so shouldn’t be used for exams or other sensitive materials.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions as you kick off the semester.
My best,
Wyatt
