Participating in Learning Groups during Quarantine or Isolation
If you have been ordered to quarantine or isolate (or feel you should do to symptoms), here is how to maintain your involvement in the course and your learning group.
Keep me informed. If you have tested positive or been told by CSM to quarantine, I believe
- I'll get an Email stating so. But if you have symptoms or know you've been exposed and waiting out the three days till optimal COVID testing, you need to let me know. I think this sort of situation adds up to not more than two missed lecture days, so if it runs into a third or the situation
worsens, just keep me informed.

- Keep up with the reading specified in the LGAs --- (that's pretty much a no-brainer IMHO).
- Stay in contact with your learning group. Unless the virus has
seriously knocked you out, I think most students can continue to manage a couple of questions per lecture and reviewing your group's LGA solutions for correctness and clarity.
- It would be beneficial to have an in-lecture group member video-conference
- you into the learning group time with their phone or computer. At the very least use a speaker phoned call so you can discuss the LGA with your peers.
If in the unlikely situation your whole group gets quarantined, then you should arrange an LGT via video conference, and let me know this is happening (a link to the recording would be nice because I doubt I could participate live). This way I can collect some positive [[participation points|ParticipationPoints]] for those in attendance.

- Finally, it would be a good idea to send me a link or attachments to the
- work you do for each LGA. Try to get this to me before lecture starts.
Most of the time I'm careful to ask your learning group if missing member has done their questions, but sometimes due to lecture room distractions I slip on this. If you have solutions (and you're excused) your work counts as a "check" in the participation point tallies.
While I (more or less) randomly choose students for checking during LGT, I always ask about student's work when they're missing. So if you are quarantined or isolated, I'll your group about your solutions.
