Matters on this page are discussed in the first lecture, but in my experience, a few are worth mentioning here. Because GLG 205F is a condensed summer course, you need to be aware that the workload will be relatively intense for the 1.5-month duration. In my previous teaching of this course, some students had problems balancing course work with other activities, such as part-time jobs and concurrent courses. It is certainly possible to multitask this way, but it is not recommended.
Lectures are important.
Not everything in the course is covered in the textbook, and conversely, not everything in the textbook is covered in the course. If you miss a lecture for any reason, my best suggestion is to 'hook up' with another member of the class to supplement your notes. I will not provide more than is available on the web page. The two tests will comprise a combination of multiple choice and short-answer questions. Academic dishonesty is serious.
