Attendance

ATTENDANCE in class is vital! Crucial work will be done in class, and much of what we cover is not discussed elsewhere, nor do we have a standard textbook. Moreover, our research is done in groups. Missing class means that your group has to work without you, and that can rarely be “made up” like work in other classes. If you do not think that you will be able to attend the vast majority of classes this semester, you should arrange to take this course at some other time. If you miss three or more classes, you may be dropped from the course.
