Assess the adequacy of face coverings on a case-by-case basis and ask students to leave or change their masks if they are deemed to be inadequate 3. Specify the exact type(s) of face masks which are permitted in labThe first option had obvious problems – from a safety standpoint it was desirable to ensure thatface coverings were adequate and effective. With the second option, instructors would have beenput in the position of having to inspect masks and assess their suitability, which would have beenproblematic in terms of liability and logistics.

Students were provided the same detailedinformation in the syllabus about the desktop module as in Year 1, but were told that last year’sstudents already completed that. The Year 2 students were told that they were to modify thoseprojects to fix short-comings indicated in the assessments from Year 1. Relevant project reportswere handed over (with grades redacted), which gave the new student teams a place to start. Theywere also given the name of the team leader from the previous year(s) to use as areference/resource.In an effort to help mitigate students back-loading the work on the project to the end of thesemester, teams were required to hand in a weekly memo, which updated the instructor on theprogress on
