As detailed in [[#Participation_and_Cases|section on participation and cases]] and in [[ | As detailed in [[#Participation_and_Cases|section on participation and cases]] and in [[Teaching Assessment | my page on assessment]], class participation is an important way that we assess learning in the class. Obviously, you must be in class in order to participate. If you need to miss class for any reason, please fill out the [https://forms.gle/maEEpNx7qU4NeHtu9 course absence form] so that we know you are not coming and do not include you in our cold call list. In the event of an absence, you are responsible for obtaining class notes, handouts, assignments, etc. | ||
There are many students who have eagerly requested to join the class, but there are not enough seats. I want to include as many students in the class as possible, we will automatically drop anyone who misses the first two class sessions and try to replace them with unenrolled students who do attend. This is consistent with college policy and with the course description in the catalog. | There are many students who have eagerly requested to join the class, but there are not enough seats.
