the length of your absence.
If you were absent one day, then you have one
day to turn in your make-up work.

I don’t like
history. Why do
we bother
studying it?
Man is a historymaking creature who
can neither repeat his
past nor leave it
behind.
W.H. Auden
“Not to know the
events which
happened before one
was born, that is to
remain always a
boy.”
Cicero (106-43B.C.)
History teaches us that
men and nations
behave wisely once
they have exhausted
all other alternatives.
