Attendance.
Attendance and participation in class are crucial to success in this course.
The assignmentis will be based on information delivered during
lectures; the Lecture notes are only summaries of
the presentations and can not replace your participation in sessions.
Attendance will be taken on Zoom from time to time. This is done out of care and
concern for your well-being, and is not grade-related. In cases of excessive
absence or tardiness, I may follow up with an email and/or submit an irregular
attendance report (this is not a punitive measure).
You are asked to make a good faith effort to complete the assigned materials
by the due date.
