NOTE: In case of illness (as in, I am very sick), I reserve the right to provide students with a pre-recorded lecture in lieu of the scheduled live online class. I would let students know in as timely a manner as possible of such a situation arising. Even under the weather, I would do all I can to keep up with the marking of assignments. Thank you for your understanding.
