OTHER ITEMS
Attendance in class
is very important, and will count toward your grade. During each lecture
period, information regarding assignments, due dates, explanation and
clarification of assignments, and material that is not covered in the assigned
texts will typically be presented. If you miss a class
for any reason, it is your responsibility to become familiar with the missed
material. Obtaining a copy of the class notes of a fellow student is
recommended in such cases.
Be prepared to spend
about 10 hours per week on this class, outside of the classroom.
