Attendance is a required part of the course.
Yes, attendance is taken and recorded. Very often the instructor is asked to give the attendance record of a student to determine a student's progress in the course. If ther is a very special reason for leaving a class early, the student must tell the instructor before class begins. This common courtesy is required. The Learning Center in Dietsch Hall has a regular program for tutoring at no extra cost to the student.
