Roxbury Publishing Company. Roxbury Publishing Company. One for when I lecture, and one for guest speakers. When I lecture, I will periodically take attendance. There will be no direct penalty assessed for missing a class when I lecture, but students who do attend class regularly will be given the benefit of the doubt in borderline grade situations.
Guest speakers are a different story.
When we do have a guest speaker, please bear in mind that these people are working professionals who have taken the time to prepare a talk especially for you, often without additional pay. I strongly urge you to attend class. There will be quite a bit of material that will be presented in class that will not be in your text. I assume that all of you can read, and I do not lecture extensively on topics that are already given a great deal of coverage in your text. You will be tested over both the notes and your assigned readings.
