Happy summer!
It's been a pleasure teaching you all this semester! I'm sad our in-person discussions were cut short but I also enjoyed getting to know a few of you a little better through the Zoom meetings. I hope you all learned some things from this class and please don't hesitate to reach out to me if you ever wanna talk about IB, bugs, sustainability, entrepreneurship, grad school, or life in general. Stay safe and have a wonderful summer!!
Coronavirus tracking
If you'd like to help contribute to tracking the prevalence of COVID-19, please answer the 6 short questions on this website.
Since we don't have enough tests to confirm cases, this site was created by my father and two brothers to help supplement the data coming from hospitals. Combining confirmed cases from hospitals with community-collected data from healthy and sick people provides a better overall idea of how many people are actually infected.
It takes less than a minute to answer these questions. I encourage you to share this with others and continue to revisit and answer these every day so that we can have better data and understanding of when it is safe to open up the economy!

The final exam is an individual activity. Unauthorized collaboration or getting assistance from someone (a classmate, friend, etc.) is not permitted when taking the final exam. All university and college regulations concerning academic honesty apply. Students are expected to recognize and uphold standards of intellectual and academic integrity. The university assumes as a minimum standard of conduct in academic matters that students be honest and that they submit for credit only the products of their own efforts.
Lack of knowledge of the contents of the University Policy on Academic Honesty is not an acceptable defense to any charge of academic dishonesty.
