I strongly encourage students to work in teams, and I shall typically limit those teams to two students. Management of the project team is the responsibility of the individuals on the team. Each team member is expected to contribute equally based on their own strengths and interests. Problems must be brought to my attention early in the quarter so that they can be resolved without further jeopardizing progress. Students are strongly encouraged to attend each meeting of the class and to actively participate in discussion and questions.
Every student is required to attend midterm and final exams at the scheduled time and place.
If there are legitimate circumstances that prevent attendance, for example, the student is attending a conference in Seattle, etc. Emergency situations must be verifiable. It is impossible to cover all the material in class. Lectures will cover material in the text and supplementary material that may not appear in the text. Students are responsible for all material.
