To be fair to the honest students, I assume that your MD, despite his/her (required) College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario number, is like the one in the cartoon and feels that his/her time has better uses than guessing how you sick you were on term test day. Please see course outlines below about my policy for (often not) accepting medical certificates. A medical certificate may result in a zero on a term test.
Student participation laser pointers:
Are less than 5 mw - I've shone one in my pupil
for 5 seconds but you are strongly advised not to do the same! (Or to stare at
the sun either!) Please don't distract your classmates by shining
them around too playfully, but please do use them to point at items you don't
understand, suspected errors in formulas or diagrams, or to respond to
questions. Please return them at the end of every lecture by leaving on a table
near the door - I pay for them personally in dollar stores. Comments or recommendations
please to me at
