Although I will not be taking attendance, it is to your advantage to participate in all the classes. If you miss a class, you still are responsible for the material covered that day, including such things as homework assignments and changes in schedules. Homework assignments will be posted to the web on the homework assignments page, so you can check there if you miss a class. You may also find the course calendar to be helpful.
There will be no make-ups for missed or late homework, quizzes, or exams. Late work will count as a zero. Of course, in case of COVID-19, more flexibility will be afforded.
Midterm exams can be taken early only under unusual circumstances (as determined by the instructor), and only by arranging a time with the instructor at least one week in advance of the date of the exam. The final exam can not be rescheduled, in general.
Even though I am not taking attendance, I am aware of when you are in class and when you are not, and excessive absences will affect your final grade. For most students, more than 1 or 2 absences would be unusual, and I would be concerned if you had as many as 4 or 5 (five absences is already one quarter of the course).
