For more detailed information consult the syllabus . Assignments for the upcoming week will be posted on the board during the last class session of the prior week. I will also try to post assignments weekly on this web site. A substantial part of exam is usually devoted to testing students' understanding of the policy basis of pension plan regulation and tax-subsidized savings. 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. Students will be divided into three roughly equal groups, and each group will be responsible for class discussion during every third class session.
