All notes and assignments are on the network, and are available for you to download or print out. Assignments are to be handed in electronically unless students are otherwise directed. It is not an advanced course specific to the student's area of interest. Students are expected to attend all class sessions. As this class moves very quickly, missing even a single day will place the student at a serious disadvantage.
Assignments tend to stretch from one day to the next.
Missing the first part of an assignment one day might mean the student will be unable to complete the assignment the next. A large part of the grade comes from in-class writing assignments either begun or completed during the class period. In general, more than three absences will seriously affect your grade. As this is a progressive skills course, grades at the end of the semester weigh more heavily than those at the first. Don't panic early on.
