This syllabus is a contract among all of us. We all have rights and responsibilities to see that this course runs as well as possible. Occasional absences are inevitable, so in such cases please call me and leave a message on my voicemail. Similarly, just as I expect you to submit quality work on time, you have every right to expect me to help you to succeed and to return your work in a timely manner.
