Italian Program Covid Protocols Fall 2021

Official Statement from the Provost’s Office:

If you are required to isolate or quarantine, become sick, or are unable to come to class, contact me as soon as possible to discuss arrangements.

Other Information:

As per the Provost’s message, all students and faculty may attend class in person or remotely until September 13. Please contact me as soon as possible if you decide to be remote during this period.
We are assuming that students and faculty will be in the classroom after September 13, but of course this may change if the Provost deems it necessary. Information regarding any changes to class meetings will be communicated via Canvas to your Pitt email.

While we plan on being in the classroom this semester, instructors in the Italian program reserve the right to shift to Zoom if necessary for health, safety, logistic, or pedagogical reasons (i.e., illness of the instructor).

Office hours will be on Zoom due to social distancing rules in our departmental office spaces.

Attendance and Participation:

Attendance will be taken regularly and will count towards your overall participation grade. If you will be absent, please inform your instructor before class via email.
Students who anticipate being absent for more than one class meeting should contact their instructor for information about make-up assignments and possible arrangements on Zoom.
Absent students will be permitted to make up quizzes and other formal assessments completed in class only if they inform their instructor of their absence before class.
Participation will be assessed formally by rubric periodically throughout the semester.
