Please Communicate and Take Care
We are all under a lot of stress and uncertainty at this time. Make sure to move regularly, eat well, and reach out to your support system or me orobinso@andrew.cmu.edu if you need to. We can all benefit from support in times of stress, and this semester is no exception.
Please keep an open dialogue with me about ways that I or the course can best support you. I realize this may change throughout the semester.
Masks and other protocols
In order to attend class meetings in person, all students are expected to abide by all behaviors indicated in A Tartan’s Responsibility, including any timely updates based on the current conditions.
In terms of specific classroom expectations, whenever the requirement to wear a facial covering is in effect on campus, students are expected to wear a facial covering throughout class. Note: the requirement to wear a facial covering is in effect for the start of the Fall 2021 semester. That means that in order to attend this class you must wear a mask/facial covering. Additionally, sanitizing wipes should be available in our classroom for those who wish to use them.
Possible Class Recordings
For this course, I might be recording class sessions and making them available to you for your personal, educational use. Recordings of class sessions are covered under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and must not be shared with anyone outside your course-section. The purpose of these recording is so students in this course (only students in this course) can watch or re-watch past class sessions. Feel free to use the recordings if you would like to review something we discussed in class or if you are temporarily unable to attend class. If I do record a class, I will let you know.
