People who are excessively absent do not pass this course. It is extremely important that we respect the opinions of others. It is important to be prepared for class by reading text assignments prior to lecture. I realize that it will not always be possible to understand every concept simply be reading the text, but if you make a sincere effort to comprehend most of the readings, then lectures and class discussion can clear up the rest. Do not let a concept slide by without fully comprehending it.
