To Begin With

How to be okay?

Your health and well-being is the most important thing. Our goal is to support you with your learning so you can complete this course despite the challenges you may be facing in your personal life. We would like to point out a few basic things you can expect from us:

• You do not owe us “productivity” or “efficiency”. We just want your attention, so we can all learn something new.

• You do not owe us any information concerning your personal situation or mental or physical health condition.

• If you want to, you are welcome to talk to us about anything you are going through. Just drop us an email, and we will figure it out.

• If you need extra help, you have to miss class, or your need more time for something, just ask us. We will work with you. So will the TAs.
