+### Lecture recordings 
+
+This is an in-person class, and we do not livestream or make recordings available by default. If you miss a class, you can catch up by reviewing the lecture notes and talking to your peers for their notes. Section 102 lectures (11 am to 12:20 am) are being recorded, but the recordings are not shared widely.

When recordings are available, instructors may grant access to students who were absent for approved reasons only (e.g., illness, jury duty, etc.).
