Assignments for the upcoming week will be posted on the board during the last class session of the prior week. I will also post assignments weekly on this web site. The exam will be open book, and will consist predominately of essay questions, but there may be a short-answer question component as well. A substantial part of exam is usually devoted to testing students' understanding of policy issues involved in employee benefit plan regulation. You must be on the seating chart to receive credit for this course.
Regular attendance is required.
You may miss a reasonable number of classes for any reason, and so do not need to inform me that you will be absent or of the reasons therefor. If you miss a substantial proportion of the class sessions during the semester, however, I have the authority to exclude you from the course. Be advised that I have imposed this sanction in the past, and will do so in the future in cases of flagrant nonattendance. Class participation in this course will be handled as follows.
