Students are
required to attend all lectures. Attendance will be recorded on the
basis of (unannounced) quizzes. Missing a quiz, or failing to collect
one, each counts as an absence. The fare is:
<= 4 absences:
4 points bonus (out of 100 for the course)
> 6 absences:
incremental point penalty
> 10 absences:
F on the course
As per university policy, the student is required to attend the
section s/he is signed in. Quiz taken in another section than the
student's own may be corrected, but will not be graded. There is no
make-up for quiz. Auditing another section may be allowed on a
limited-time basis, and requires permission of the instructor. It does
not make up for absence in that student's section.
Note that showing up for exams does not count, by itself, as
attendance.
