Math 246 Attendance and Drop Policies, Spring 2008

Attendance

Attendance in the discussion sections will be taken through 5 February (the last day to add courses is 8 February). If you have two unexcused absences during this period then you risk being administratively dropped from the class, but most likely will not be.

You should never assume that you will be dropped from the class simply because you are not attending or not taking exams. If you wish to drop the class, you should follow the University Procedures, which are outlined under ``Drop'' below.

You are expected (but not required) to attend every scheduled class. At all times, you are responsible for knowing every topic covered in class (whether or not it is covered in the books), for obtaining all materials distributed in class or on the webpage, and for knowing every change in either a homework assignment, a Matlab project, an exam schedule, an office hour, or a course policy that is announced in class. Graded projects, quizzes, and exams will only be returned directly to each student.

Drop

If you are enrolled in this course for credit then you must drop it before the close of business on 8 February if you desire a complete deletion of enrollment from your record. This can be done either After 8 February you may drop this course with a grade of ``W'' until 11 April . After 11 April you may not drop this course.
