Policy on attendance
  Students are required to attend all lectures. Attendance will be recorded on the basis of taking, and collecting, quiz. The fare is (percentages refer to the total of recorded attendance):
<= 15% absences: 4 points bonus (out of 100 for the course)
25% to 35%: incremental point penalty
> 35%: F on the course
There is no make-up for quiz. Note that showing up for exams does not count, by itself, as attendance.
It is strictly forbidden to use cell phones, web browsers or such, in class or during office hours.
