  1. Dear Professor,
    I am very sorry that i cannot attend cs12 class today (10/18) because I am very sick and I have doctor's appointment this evening. Therefore is there anything I can do to makeup the quiz that is coming up?
    Sincerely,
    Hua Liu

  2. assuming you don't miss a lot of quizzes, i can just exclude this quiz from the average of quizzes, such that you won't be penalized for missing it.
