Attendance and other course policies

• Failure to attend class and/or recitation sessions, or to take quizzes and/or exams, are grounds for dismissal from the course. Coming to class you will hear a lot of math `culture', how we think about beginning certain problems, how to think through computations, how to express your answers, and so much more. If you do not come to class you are missing out on a lot of very important conscious and subconscious learning and culture. In addition, not coming to class is usually a slippery slope that the e student soon falls off of. Classroom behavior: Arrive on time, ready to pay attention. Turn off your cell phone. Do not play with your phones, surf the web, talk to your neighbor, or be disruptive. If you must leave early be sure to sit at the rear of the class (if there is an exit at the rear, else sit by the exit), so as to not appear rude and disturb the class atmosphere when you leave. Except for the start and end of class, please restrict your questions in class to things relevant to what the instructor is discussing, to avoid confusing all the other students. Specific policies concerning attendance and any other policy issues that may arise will be communicated to you by your instructor. Whenever possible, and in accordance with 504/ADA guidelines, we will attempt to provide reasonable academic accommodations to students who request and require them.
