If you're feeling unwell, please stay home and protect your own health and that of your classmates! I deliberately designed the class so that it's possible to miss a reasonable number of meetings without adverse effects on your grade. In light of how many people have reported a flu diagnosis (2, and counting), I am now further extending that permission:
* I will give 14 readings quizzes over the course of the semester and count only the best 10. This means you can miss up to 4 classes with no effect on your grade, even if those classes happen to fall on days I give a readings quiz.*
So if you think you might have the flu, stay home! There is no need to contact me. Just ask someone from class for the notes, check this blog, and stay current with the reading. You can write response papers from home if you feel up to it. You don't want me to grade while sick; I would be grumpy.
Good luck staying well; if you're feeling ill, I hope you recover in time for Seattle!
