Lecture is held live in a UVU classroom on specific days and times for some content, and livestream on specific days and times using MS Teams (students join and interact using their own device; no physical classroom space is scheduled). Sections require:

• Two meeting lines-- one to capture the live lecture time and one to capture the livestream time requirement (standard meeting patterns apply to both meeting lines). For example:
  • Line 1: T 1300-1415 LA 104 (75 minutes face-to-face lecture)
  • Line 2: R 1300-1415 LIVE STREAM (75 minutes livestream)
