Regular attendance of class is an important part of this course. Nevertheless, because I believe that university students should make their own decisions, I hereby declare that attendance at the class meetings of this course is optional, subject to the conditions below. This means, for example, that I will not be obligated to repeat to an absentee material which has already been covered. Regarding Learning Styles and Difficulties. There are many styles of learning.
Some people learn better with their eyes, some with their ears.
There are many effective ways to acquire knowledge. If, for example, taking notes in class is difficult for you or hampers your learning, arrangements can almost certainly be made to help you solve this problem. I want to help you learn. I will help you with any legitimate need. I will not help you with anything which you need to do for yourself.
