If You are Sick

We have been warned that a significant H1N1 flu outbreak is likely, peeking around two or three weeks into the term. If you do get sick, please do not come to class. All class notes will be posted online. And you are more than welcome to come to my and TA’s office hours for any questions after recovery. I do not take attendance in class, so you do not need to provide any documentation. You should wait until 24 hours after your fever has ended before coming back to class. If you still have a cough, please try to sit away from other students and use proper "cough hygiene". If you come to class while obviously ill, I may ask you to leave, as a simple courtesy to others.
