The course is not intended to prepare students to get married or become parents, but some of the information may be applied by students to those ends. Attendance - Attendance will not be formally taken. Students are strongly recommended to attend regularly, since not all lecture material will be covered in assigned readings. Students who must miss class for any reason are strongly encouraged to get the class notes. Readings - Regular reading assignments in the text are given in this syllabus.
Students are responsible for covering readings to insure adequate performance on exams.
Not all readings will be discussed in lecture , so failure to read assigned material will probably result in poorer performance in the course. Examinations - Three exams will be given in the course, dividing the time and material approximately in thirds. Students are expected to take all exams on time, unless there is a compelling reason to do otherwise. Seniors must take all three exams. Students who fail to call will not be given a makeup, but be awarded a zero for that third of the course.
