Mon, 04 Oct 2021, 13:53 Class this week is still on Zoom

My students,

I understand there is still confusion of whether we will be in-person today.
The short answer is: "No, we are still holding class over Zoom."

I have been given two more weeks to find a way to hold class safely in-person.
Right now, our classroom is such that there is no way we can have meaningful
social distancing and be safe if some students do not wear masks.  Social
distancing would be less than one inch in some cases, a maximum of 2.5 feet in
other cases.

I strongly believe in-person is better and I am doing my best to make that
happen, but I want it to happen safely.  So, this week (at least) we will
stay on Zoom.

I asked my TA in charge of the course webpage to post an announcement there,
and I aked my Head TA to post an announcement on Canvas.  ...and I am sending
email to all of you.  Hopefully, I will succeed in getting the word to all of
you and avoid an unnecessary trip to WCH 1.120.

See you on Zoom at 3:30 today.  Stay safe.
