COVID problems and protocols - everyone please read

[Zellmer, Robert]

I'm getting a lot of people with COVID or in quarantine due to contact with
someone who has it.  I've sent e-mails about the protocols we're following
and what you should do.  I know not everyone needs this right now but
please try to remember I've sent it so if you get COVID you know what
we're doing and what you should do.

If you have COVID we don't need any documents showing this.  You
can send it if you wish but we don't need it.  You need to contact SLDS
(see the syllabus).  They may ask for something.  They will send you an
excuse which you forward to me and the lab supervisors.

We are not live streaming lectures or recording them.  There are
pre-recorded lectures in Carmen (see the "Lecture" module in the
"Modules" tab in the menu).  There are also some supplemental videos
covering specific topics from another lecturer in the department.  My
pre-recorded lecture videos are there by week (not by specific lecture).
I would not suggest people use these in order to skip lecture.  You're
still better off coming to lecture.  However, if you must miss due to an
illness or emergency they're there so you won't fall behind.

I also suggest if you know anyone in class you ask them to send you
notes.  If they're using Notability on an iPad they can record the
audio (there's a microphone symbol at the top you click for this).  They
can send you the native Notability file with the audio recorded. If you
don't have Notability they can send you a PDF with an MP4.

If you know you will miss recitation please let me know who is
your recitation TA and CC them on the e-mail to me.

For recitations or quizzes we have a mechanism for what happens
when you miss one of these, as discussed in the syllabus.  The
quizzes are on-line via Carmen so you might still be able to take
them, particularly if you're just in quarantine because you were
exposed.  Even if you aren't feeling real well, I suggest you take the
quiz unless you're just too sick to do so.  We drop the 3 lowest quiz
scores and the 3 lowest recitation attendance scores.  If you miss a
recitation or a quiz for ANY reason it is one of the dropped scores.

As mentioned above, if you're going to miss lab you will need to
e-mail the lab supervisors as well.

If you wind up getting sick, for any reason, and will miss a midterm
you can find what to do in Carmen in the Make-up Exams area of
the "Shortcuts:" area at the bottom of the homepage.  You need to
do this as I don't have anything to do with determining if your
excuse is valid when it comes to exams.  We do NOT drop any
exam scores.
