<div dir="ltr"><div>It's a bit confusing to keep track of your individual replies to faculty. It would be so helpful if you could integrate your various expectations into a single message. In your prior messages, you have addressed directly or indirectly the following topics:</div><div><ul><li>no more in-person class meetings, but labs are okay for next week. None permitted after Spring Break?<br></li><li>Is it correct that faculty should maintain office hours to meet in-person with students or must everything be done remotely?</li><li>How can we administer non-multiple choice exams remotely while maintaining exam security and preventing rampant cheating?</li><li>Can small classes still meet (infrequently) for exams & oral presentations so long as we maintain social separation of 6-8 feet?</li><li>Who in engineering should we go to for help with getting things online? Dr. Ozturk?</li></ul><div>Thanks for much for giving as much clarification as possible to these concerns. I know that things are changing almost hourly.<br></div><div><br></div></div><div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div>Andrew Y.

However, every faculty member may choose an option of holding face-to-face office hours by scheduling them as individual meeting appointments. If a faculty is meeting with a group of students, then this faculty member should make sure that this meeting is being held in venues that allow social distancing of six feet per person. If this degree of social distancing cannot be achieved – regardless of the venue in which the meeting is being hosted - then the meeting should be canceled or rescheduled, or conducted in a virtual mode.</div><div><br></div><div>Best regards,</div><div>Eugene</div><div><br></div><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:small">Eugene A.
