It is virtually impossible to pass the course without regular class attendance. After that you will get a notification warning you of the danger if you miss more classes. Plagiarizing, cheating in examinations, lying about missed assignments, absences, etc., are all violations of the honor code. If you are uncertain about whether an act constitutes a violation of the honor code, consult the instructor. The foundation of this community is a spirit of personal honesty and mutual trust.
