Math 214-01: Foundations of Mathematics (Spring 2022)


Please note that testing positive for COVID or any other temporary illness is not considered a disability as defined by ADA guidelines and is not under the purview of W&M’s Student Accessibility Services (SAS). Thus, any questions should be addressed via email to the instructor.  

Consistent with W&M’s belief that learning is most effective when the instructor and students convene, our course this semester is scheduled for in-person instruction. That said, we are still dealing with a pandemic, even as it ebbs toward an endemic. In this setting, we need to have a way to communicate when students or the instructor cannot be in person. As soon as a student knows they will not be able to attend class in person (either because of having tested positive, having symptoms consistent with COVID, or other health matters), please email the instructor. In that case, the instructor will activate our mode of accommodating absences for your situation. Since this is a very challenging time with the potential for quite complicated comings and goings, we need to operate on the basis of a trustful relationship; please try your very best not to miss classes for non-health related reasons. 

 

For this course in Spring 2022, here is the way that we will address student absences: (i) Share Instructor’s notes for class; (ii) Create a contact system so that students who have missed class have an assigned group of classmates to reach out to in order to learn about the class(es) missed; and here is the way we will address instructor absence: the Instructor converts classes to zoom on a temporary basis.
