Math 246 Attendance and Drop Policies, Fall 2013
Attendance
Attendance will be taken in the discussion sections on
6 September , and 13 September
(the last day to add courses is 16 September). If you have an
unexcused absence during this period and if there is a waiting list
for your section then you risk being administratively dropped from
the class. (Those who have never shown up will be dropped first;
those who have missed the 13 September class will be dropped next.)
Because waiting lists typically vanish by 16 September, it is rare
that anyone is administratively dropped from a class.
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 lecture
and discussion section. At all times, you are responsible for knowing
every topic that is covered in lecture, for obtaining all materials
distributed on the website, and for knowing every change in either a
homework assignment, a Matlab project, a quiz or exam schedule, an
office hour, or a course policy that is announced in lecture or on the
website. You are also responsible for collecting your graded
projects, quizzes, and exams from your TA. Graded projects, quizzes,
and exams will only be returned directly to each student.
The University Class Attendance Policy can be found in the
Undergraduate Catalog.
Drop
If you are enrolled in this course for credit then you must drop it
before the close of business on 16 September if you desire a
complete deletion of enrollment from your record. This can be done
either
- by accessing
Testudo ,
- by coming to the Office of the Registrar
(1st floor Mitchell Building),
- or by coming to the Reckord Armory
at the beginning of the semester.
After 16 September you may drop this course with a grade of ``W''
until 11 November . After 11 November you may not drop
this course. The University Drop Policy can be found at
