The FLU:
A growing number of students on campus have reported flu-like upper
respiratory symptoms, including several students & staff in 6.042.
If you have flu-like symptoms DO NOT COME TO
CLASS, and stay away until the symptoms abate and you have not
had a fever in 24 hours.
If you are able, notify
6042-staff(at)csail.mit.edu of your illness. Notes from doctors will not
be required for flu-like illnesses. In rare cases, the 6.042
staff may request a note from Student Support Services (S^3).
Do not ask MIT Medical for a note
to excuse your absence. They need to focus on helping sick students,
not course administration. Contact Medical only for medical help.
When you are well enough, you can work out with your TA
specific arrangements to make up missed work. To make up for excused
absences from team-problem solving sessions, we generally ask students
to send us detailed comments on the class problems and their solutions
––detailed enough to persuade us that they've learned at
least as much about the problem as they would have in class.
Suggesting ways to improve the problems and/or solutions, or just a
thoughtful identification of confusing or poorly written passages, is
a simple way to persuade us.
Stay well ––if you can. :-)
