The exams involve not just testing for memory but also for understanding and for ability to synthesize material. Furthermore, as stated in the University Bulletin , attendance at all classes is required. After two absences there is a liability to a lowering of the course grade according to the following scale of minimum deduction for each additional absence. The minimum requirement for attendance is not only physical presence in class but also attention to the material being presented and class participation. Thus, attempting to study or read other texts or material will be counted an absence.
Tardiness is liable to penalty.
The following schedule indicates on what days the completed assignments are to be discussed.
