Highest five quizzes will count toward the final grade. Lectures are an essential part of the course, and for that reason class regular class attendance is expected of all students. Three or more unexcused absences may result in a grade reduction. All reading is to be completed before the beginning of the class period in which the reading is to be discussed. If you are unable to be present, let the instructor know in advance.
Students are responsible for all announcements made during their absence from class.
