We will start the class at 8:00, break for lunch at 12:00, resume at 12:30 and finish the presentation by 4:00PM, at which time we will review the course and answer any final questions.

Since the class is a full day with a tight schedule, we suggest that you bring a bag lunch, as there are not many options to go out for a quick lunch. Doing so, we can stay on schedule, finishing on time.
