Attendance is mandatory.
You will be able to develop your oral skills in Russian only through regular attendance and class participation. If you know ahead of time that you will have to miss a class, please tell me the day before or leave a message. You are expected to find out what material was covered during your absence and make up the work right away. This is a very intensive course which requires that written homework be completed every day. Written homework assignments are due in class the day after they are assigned.
