410: COVID-19 Information
|
Note: This information is based heavily on a
template provided by the Faculty of Science.Covid Safety in the ClassroomMasks:
Masks are required for all indoor classes, as per
the BC Public Health Officer orders. For our in-person
meetings in this class, it is important that all of us
feel as comfortable as possible engaging in class
activities while sharing an indoor space. For the purposes
of this order, the term "masks" refers to medical and
non-medical masks that cover our noses and mouths. Masks
are a primary tool to make it harder for Covid-19 to find
a new host. You will need to wear a medical or non-medical
mask for the duration of our class meetings, for your own
protection, and the safety and comfort of everyone else in
the class. Your mask should cover your nose and mouth.
Please do not eat in class. If you need to drink
water/coffee/tea/etc, please keep your mask on between
sips. Please note that there are some people who cannot
wear a mask. These individuals are equally welcome in our
class.
Students who need to request an exemption to the indoor mask mandate must do so based on one of the grounds for exemption detailed in the PHO Order on Face Coverings (COVID-19). Such requests must be made through the Center for Accessibility (info.accessibility@ubc.ca).
Vaccination: If you have not yet had a chance to get vaccinated against Covid-19, vaccines are available to you, free, and on campus [Information to come]. The higher the rate of vaccination in our community overall, the lower the chance of spreading this virus. You are an important part of the UBC community. Please arrange to get vaccinated if you have not already done so. Seating
in class: To reduce the risk of Covid transmission,
please sit in a consistent area of the classroom each day.
This will minimize your contacts and will still allow for
the pedagogical methods planned for this class to help
your learning.
Your personal healthIf you're sick, it's important that you stay home - no matter what you think you may be sick with (e.g., cold, flu, other).
If you do miss class because of illness:
Instructor healthIf I am sick: I will do my best to stay well, but if I am ill, develop Covid symptoms, or test positive for Covid, then I will not come to class. If that happens, here's what you can expect:
