One more thing, we are encouraged to use online resources for our classes when we have closings. I am unsure the degree to which people use them. I’m doing that for one class today that was canceled due to delayed opening, but generally I don’t do much online work because of closings because I have it built into my schedules.

The number of days is actually fairly normal for us on closings. I build 2 to 3 snow days into my schedule for classes that we shift into those when actual closing days happen. For instance, we had a closing yesterday, so I shifted the schedule for one of my classes forward one day taking up the planned snow day set in the middle of April. Being in a relatively rural area of the mid-atlantic Appalachians and in a small town, 100% plowing of streets does not happen, only the major roads are plowed & salted. So, it creates fairly hazardous situations. But, winter’s not over yet!

The Governor shutting down the transit system didn't help but I digress. Since then even though it has been cold, we haven't had the snow that other places have had, so, no more snow days throwing the academic calendar into chaos. But I'm wondering what is going on in other places. Boston seems to be mess and I'm wondering what the colleges are doing there: are they taking snow days and adding days to the end of the semester or are they trying to use online substitutes for classes where it is difficult/impossible to get to campus or some other way of handling the situation? It seems like that south is also getting some unusual weather and I wonder how the schools down there are dealing with it. Are schools open even if students/faculty can't make it to campus or are they closed? If closed, how is the time missed going to be made up (if at all). -Mike Palij New York University m...@nyu.edu<mailto:m...@nyu.edu> --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: pcbernha...@frostburg.edu<mailto:pcbernha...@frostburg.edu>.
