[Pols-announce] clarification on upcoming study week

[Haider-Markel, Donald Patrick]

All, for clarification, the upcoming study week guidelines do indicate that we cannot introduce new material during the week or have assignments due during the week. You can shift when assignments are due to finals week to be in compliance if needed.
DHM



Study week is scheduled for Nov. 30 - Dec. 4.



The purpose of study week is to provide:

  *   A week-long period free of classes and assessments for semester-long courses.
  *   Time for students to review material and prepare for final exams, or to work on papers or projects due during finals week.
  *   Additional time for GTAs to provide feedback to students in the courses they teach, while also preparing for their own exams as students.



Academic activities for semester-long courses:

  *   Instructors cannot hold class with required attendance during study week.
  *   Instructors cannot present any new material during study week.
  *   Instructors cannot have required assignments/projects/exams due during study week; however, optional extra credit assessments may be due during study week.
  *   Instructors may hold optional virtual review sessions, and/or students may choose to meet virtually during class time to work on assignments or study for exams.
  *   Students can check in with instructors through optional individual virtual appointments or virtual office hours.
