The format used should be the same as that used to resolve assigned problems. I'll circulate an attendance sheet. You are responsible for making sure your attendance is recorded. Only absences that will be considered excused will be due to illness. Moreover, if you cannot attend class on any given day, advise me beforehand so you will not be marked absent.
Sanctions range from loss of a grade or more to being dropped from the class.
When you arrive late, it is very disruptive of the class. If you come in, it will be considered an unexcused absence. This is a professional school, not Billy-Bob's diner. No food in class. You may bring a drink.
