Make-up Lecture | |||
Since the Winter semester starts on a Wednesday and since Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday is on January 21, we have to make up two (2) days.
Additionally, we have to allow for class cancellations due to inclement weather (i.e., snow fall). The general policy calls for a make-up class on the following Saturday at the same time and room. That would be an extremely onerous policy for this course! In fact, I doubt that the room is even availabe on Saturday night. So, we are forced to use to use a different policy for make-ups.
Therefore, I have put together the schedule as detailed above. In addition to our `regular' Mondays and Thursdays, it contains three Tuesdays. The final `regular' Thursday is used as make-up day in case of a class cancellation; let's hope that no more than one class gets cancelled. We will discuss these issues on the first day of class in more detail.
