Contingency Plans

If COVID mutates badly or another public-health emergency emerges that precludes in-person courses, then all team meetings will be online synchronous meetings (e.g., via Teams) at the same time they would have occurred in-person. The course instructor and TAs will join your meetings and provide the same Q&A, advising, and feedback as we would if we were in-person.

Similarly, if university regulations preclude in-person exams then the final exam will be an online exam.

Accommodating Team Members

COVID is still a thing for some people, depending on their own risk tolerance and other people in their lives that may be vulnerable or depending on them. Your instructor is in this situation and will likely mask when in class.

If one (or more!) of your team members is in a similar situation, please do all that you can to work with them. Mask if requested, etc. Speak with the instructor about it, as necessary.
