H1N1 policy

If you have flue-like symptomps, tell me about it by email. Do not come to class for 24H after fever subsided. We will have enough homework to drop assignments affected by your absence. I have also modified my usual no-makeups policy for the 2009 flu season! If I get sick and need to cancel the class I will send you an email to your blackboard account.
