From one of your peers: .... I missed the quiz because I am sick ....
Answer:
There are no makeups for the first three quizzes you are missing,
no matter the reason, since the three lowest quiz scores are discarded.
Once you have missed three, something will be arranged for further absences,
in case they are properly excused:
I expect an email (a one-liner suffices)
BEFORE the class starts, that you will be absent and why.
If the reason is covered by the syllabus, there will the a makeup or the next quiz
will count double.
