Assignments and Grading
Spring 2012
Class attendance policy
Attend all classes, speak up, ask informed questions, be up-to-date on your assignments and readings. Seek help and make appointments for office hours as needed. Repeated unexcused absenses will reduce your grade, by one or more letter grades in severe cases, at my discretion. Attendance will be monitored and count for 10% of final grade.
